England have dropped out-of-form opener Keaton Jennings for the second Test against the West Indies with the uncapped Joe Denly taking his place.
Denly, 32, bats at number three for second division Kent but will open the innings in Antigua as a direct replacement for Jennings, who pays the price for a sequence of low scores and an average that has now dipped below 26.
Captain Joe Root announced the change on the eve of the second Test, with Jack Leach also recalled to a 12-man squad in place of Adil Rashid.
Denly made his first international appearance in almost a decade in a solitary Twenty20 win over Sri Lanka before Christmas, taking the man-of-the-match award predominantly for his four-wicket haul.
His leg-spin could also come in handy at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium but it is at the top of the order that he will be expected to contribute most.
