How do Test squads work?

England's Test squad is a group of cricketers selected to represent the country in Test matches, the longest form of the sport. Players are chosen based on their form, fitness, and suitability for the opposition and conditions. Recalls, like those for Pope and Carse, happen when players demonstrate improved performance or fill a specific team need.
