Steven DaviesSurrey Wicket Keeper Steven Davies has been asked to join the England Squad for the Third Investec Test at Edgbaston following an eye infection to Matt Prior. The news is that Prior could still go onto play in the Third Test and Davies’ inclusion is more of a precautionary measure. Steven Davies has played 8 ODIs and 5 T20Is and is yet to make his Test Debut. It’s surprising that England have called him up despite having the presence of Jonny Bairstow in the squad who is also a Wicket Keeper.
