Dan Lawrence has been given the opportunity to secure a spot in England's middle order for the first Test against West Indies after being listed at No. 4 for their four-day warm-up match against a CWI President's XI in Antigua.
Lawrence, 24, made his Test debut in Sri Lanka last year and averages 27.23 after eight matches. He was part of the Ashes squad in Australia but did not make an appearance, and has not played any competitive cricket since the end of the County Championship season.
Ollie Pope, who was retained in the squad for the West Indies tour despite a torrid series in Australia in which he made 67 runs across six innings, is the only batter not included for Tuesday's warm-up fixture.
Zak Crawley and Alex Lees will open the batting with Joe Root carded in his new role at No. 3 ahead of Lawrence at No. 4. Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow are due to come in at No. 5 and No. 6 respectively with Ben Foakes keeping wicket at No. 7.
England have picked a 12-man side featuring four seamers (Chris Woakes, Craig Overton, Mark Wood and Ollie Robinson) and one spinner (Jack Leach) with one of those five likely to be squeezed out for the first Test on March 8. The uncapped Saqib Mahmood, Matthew Fisher and Matt Parkinson join Pope on the bench.
"We've done a lot of talking," Paul Collingwood, England's interim head coach, told the ECB's in-house channels. "We've had some real open and honest meetings, and a lot of players and a lot of staff have spoken up in those meetings so they're accountable now. They've got to go and live it. They've got to put what they've said in those meetings out onto the field.
"I feel as though the guys have really bought into it. There's a sense of excitement and genuine enthusiasm about moving the team forward and to build self-sufficiency in the team. I know I've only got the job as an interim coach but I guess the challenge is to pass the team onto whoever comes in after the four weeks and the team to be in a better, stronger place than it has been. When you get a role like this, you want to make a difference."
The President's XI will be captained by Shane Dowrich, who recently returned to the professional game after a 14-month hiatus and scored 116 not out against England in Barbados three years ago.
The fixture also marks England's return to the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua for the first time since the Stanford 20/20 for $20 million in 2008. The ground is the site of CWI's new headquarters following its redevelopment and hosted men's international cricket for the first time last year.
"The pitch and the outfield are looking in immaculate condition and we are really pleased with what we are seeing," Rayon Griffith, who will coach the President's XI, said. "We've had some good training sessions and we expect to give a really good account during the four-day match."
