Craig White was today handed a surprise recall by England in the opening Test against India when the selectors preferred him to Lord's favourite Dominic Cork.
Yorkshire all-rounder White, who played the last of his 24 Tests in the final encounter against India at Bangalore last December, was expected to be the player who missed out from the squad of 12.
But after looking at the Lord's surface, White got the vote over Derbyshire all-rounder Cork because of his better record as a batsman.
