London, Aug 5 (PTI) With uncertainty looming large on Andrew Flintoff's participation, England has included Warwickshire batsman Jonathan Trott as his cover in the 14-member squad for the fourth Ashes Test against Australia starting at Headingley on Friday.
The squad also features fast bowler Ryan Sidebottom but there is still no place for left-arm spinner Monty Panesar.
Struggling with a knee injury, Flintoff has taken six injections in the last 18 days and still remains uncertain for the fourth Test.
The 28-year-old Trott has 831 first-class runs this season at an average of 83 and national selector Geoff Miller feels he deserved the call.
"Jonathan Trott has also performed really well for Warwickshire this season and his place in the squad is fully deserved," Miller was quoted as saying in the BBC.
