James Tredwell will hope to get the chance to win his first Test cap when England face Bangladesh in the Second Test in Dhaka on Saturday.

The 28-year-old off-spinner looked nailed on to make his debut in this week’s 181 run win in Chittagong, only for the selectors to decide on playing four bowlers, including Middlesex debutant Steve Finn, who replaced injured Durham paceman Graham Onions.

Tredwell, pictured, grabbed the spotlight on Sunday with a stunning one-handed catch at short mid-wicket off rival Graeme Swann while fielding as replacement for captain Alastair Cook.

Kent team director Paul Farbrace said: “England had to make the decision whether to play him on the spot.

"We are all very proud of what Treddy has done, he wasn’t in any squad at one stage, so we mustn’t get too despondent about him not playing in a Test.

"The strides he has made have been absolutely incredible, because he wasn’t on England’s radar at the start of the winter.”

The Kent squad report back for pre-season fitness tests on Friday and begin outdoor training on Monday.

Robbie Joseph, Phil Edwards and Amjad Khan were due back from winter spells away this week, while Darren Stevens (Zimbabwe) and Simon Cook (Hong Kong) return next week.
