Ben Foakes exclusion is a shocking endictment on the selectors lack of judgment. It demeans the importance of wicket keeping, surely one of the pivotal position in a team and assigns it to a less capable individual, who although competent, is not of Foakes' class. Why omit the best keeper in the world from your team, to enable a mediocre, if sometimes languid opener, to maintain his spot?! He must feel very hard done by. After all, this is not the first time he has been treated this way. Very disappointing.
