Thats a rather foolish thing to tell anybody. JT has moved to Notts and now seems to be on the outside of the England set up, he must be seething. Cant see Trott or Bell being dropped in the near future. Bairstow is not making big scores and should serve more time in the County Championship.
JT is a class batsman and should be included in the current team. IMO JT and Root are the future.
Back to more pressing matters. Its gone lunch and its either 1 wicket or 20 runs to decide the First Test.
