Sibley was a flop in the last two Tests, with an average of just 19.77 in the last ten Tests. At the same time, Crowley lost his place in the playing XI only after the first match.
Apart from this, fast bowler Saqib Mahmood has also got a place in the 15-man squad. Mark Wood is also part of the team, who suffered a shoulder injury during the second Test.
After Sibley’s departure, Haseem Hameed can open the innings with Rory Burns and David Malan can come in to bat at No.
