James Taylor "gutted" by Test squad omission

By , Reporter
James Taylor admits that he is "gutted" to have been overlooked for England's Test squad to tour the West Indies.

James Taylor has admitted that he is "gutted" to have missed out on England's Test squad to tour the West Indies in April and May.

The Nottinghamshire batsman was overlooked in favour of the returning Jonathan Trott and uncapped Yorkshire opener Adam Lyth in today's squad announcement.

Taylor was one of the few encouraging performers during England's disastrous World Cup campaign, but could not persuade the selectors to recall him in the longest format for the first time since August 2012.

Taylor, 25, has scored 7,939 runs at an average of 46.70 since making his first-class debut in 2008.
