England named an unchanged 12-man squad for the fourth Ashes Test against Australia at Trent Bridge starting this Thursday.
Chris Tremlett, the Hampshire pace bowler, was again included in the squad, which featured the same eleven players who played in the first three Tests. David Graveney, the chairman of selectors, said: "We are playing some good cricket at present and there is a positive vibe about the team which I am sure the players will be keen to take into the next Test Match.
"The last two Tests have been extraordinary games which have really captured the imagination of the sporting public and produced scenes around the ground reminiscent of the Oval in 2000 against the West Indies. But back-to-back Tests are also mentally and physically draining for both teams and we are very grateful to the counties for agreeing to Duncan Fletcher's request that our players should be rested from domestic cricket ahead of the Trent Bridge Test."
