Woakes and Kerrigan named in fresh England squad

Simon Kerrigan and Chris Woakes,have been named for fifth and final Ashes.

Simon Kerrigan and Chris Woakes,who are yet to play a Test match between them,have been named in Englands 14-man squad for the fifth and final Ashes contest against Australia,starting at The Oval on Wednesday.

Fast bowler Steven Finn was also recalled to the squad after England,who have retained the urn and lead the series 3-0,lost pacemen Tim Bresnan and Graham Onions to injuries.

Lancashire left-arm spinner Kerrigan,24,who is yet to play for England in any format,got the nod ahead of troubled tweaker Monty Panesar,who was recently fined for drunkenly urinating outside a Brighton nightclub.

Warwickshires Woakes,who made his England debut in 2011 in limited overs internationals,is also a handy batsman lower down the order similar to Bresnan.
