Harmison and Swann return for England against T&T

28/10/2008

England have selected paceman Steve Harmison and spinner Graeme Swann in the starting XI to play Trinidad and Tobago this evening.

The two teams will contest England's final match ahead of the big-money, winner-takes-all clash with the Stanford Superstars XI for a total prize find of $20 million (£11.5 million).

Durham striker bowler Harmison missed Sunday's nervy victory over Middlesex due to an illness.

However, he has been recalled in place of fellow fast bowler Ryan Sidebottom, who is sidelined with a slight calf strain.

Nottinghamshire twirler Swann has been drafted in to provide an additional spin option for captain Kevin Pietersen, who bowled four overs himself against Middlesex.

Lancashire paceman James Anderson is the unlucky man to miss out.

It remains unclear if Sidebottom's injury will keep him out of the Stanford Twenty20 for 20 game at the weekend.

Full England XI to face Trinidad and Tobago:
Kevin Pietersen (captain), Ian Bell, Matt Prior, Owais Shah, Andrew Flintoff, Paul Collingwood, Samit Patel, Luke Wright, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, Steve Harmison.
