Greame Swann in for injured Tremlett for Sri Lanka ODIs

Graeme Swann, the Nottinghamshire offspinner, has been picked in England's one-day squad for Sri Lanka in place of injured fast bowler Chris Tremlett. Luke Wright, the Sussex allrounder who made an impressive ODI debut against India, is also part of the side. Wright scored a fifty on his debut and is also part of England's squad for the ICC World Twenty20.

Swann, who played one ODI for England in 2000, was included keeping in mind that pitches in Sri Lanka will be favourable to spin bowling. He has taken 11 wickets at 11.18 so far in the five Pro40 matches this season. "Graeme's inclusion in the squad will give us the option of fielding two spinners in our starting line-up if required," David Graveney, the chairman of selector, said of the squad, which also includes Monty Panesar.

I am suprised really because didn't he have a attiude problem in 2000 when England toured South Africa? I bet if Duncan was still the coach he wouldn't of picked him <s><img><s>

Well, he's been golden for England so far. Monty might need to pick up his act in the tests to cement his increasingly uncertain position as England's best spinner.

Nah Monty will continue in Test Matches I think. The only chance Swann will get is if Monty looses his form big time or if he gets injured OR if England want a second spinner. <s><img><s>
