Chris Tremlett Surprised by Ashes Call

London: Chris Tremlett and Monty Panesar have been recalled to the England squad for the Ashes tour, but Ajmal Shahzad misses out on the main 16-man party and will instead travel with the performance team.

Fast bowler Chris Tremlett says he was surprised to be named in the England squad for the Ashes in Australia.

The 29-year-old, who has played three Test matches, moved from Hampshire to Surrey at the end of last season.

The positions of final pacemen and second spinner were the only ones up for grabs among a settled unit, with Tremlett's height and Panesar's previous Test experience being the deciding factors.
