The Rothesay County Championship is back! And while Round 1 wasn't full of wins and losses, it did give players the chance to start staking their England Test Match claims.

In this episode, Matt breaks down five players that he believes should be grabbing the attention of Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum.

• Who will replace Zak Crawley?
• How do you fit James Rew in the England team?
• Have England finally found a left-armer?
• Can Sonny Baker bounce back after two rough matches to start his international career?
• Is Matt Fisher the new Chris Woakes?

Who is on your radar for England? Are there any uncapped players who HAVE to be in the squad against New Zealand? Let me know in the comments.
