ENGLAND handed a debut to fast bowler Amjad Khan and recalled left-arm spinner Monty Panesar for the fifth Test against West Indies in Trinidad.
The tourists reverted to a five-man attack for the must-win match at Queen's Park Oval which meant Ravi Bopara was dropped despite hitting a maiden hundred in the drawn fourth Test. England won the toss and chose to bat.
Danish-born Khan joined the tour alongside Bopara just a fortnight ago as joint cover for injured all-rounder Andrew Flintoff and impressed in claiming five wickets in the two-day match in Barbados.
He took the place of left-armer Ryan Sidebottom while first-choice wicketkeeper Matt Prior displaced Tim Ambrose behind the stumps.
England need to win the final match of the series to secure a 1-1 draw and a share of the Wisden Trophy.
