Squads

On 28 August 2001, England named an initial 16-man squad for the tour, including three uncapped players: wicket-keeper James Foster, and bowlers James Kirtley and Jeremy Snape.[1] Bowler James Ormond withdrew from the squad on 15 September after suffering from patellar tendinitis in his right knee,[2] while all-rounder Craig White also pulled out after twisting his right knee in training; they were replaced by bowler Chris Silverwood and batsman Graham Thorpe, respectively.[3]
