Bell misses out on tour spot
Despite an impressive Test debut at The Oval last week, Ian Bell has
missed out on selection for England’s tour of South Africa this winter,
as Mark Butcher and Graham Thorpe return after injury. There is a
recall for the Durham allrounder Paul Collingwood, who has been
troubled by injury this season, and Gareth Batty also returns. Chris
Read won the spot as reserve wicketkeeper
