Sir Ian Botham believes England should consider recalling leg-spinner Adil Rashid for the third Test against Pakistan as a replacement for the injured Ben Stokes. Akiem Hicks Bears Jersey . Stokes has been ruled out of the game in Birmingham, which begins on Wednesday, and is also unlikely to play in the final Test with a torn calf muscle sustained in Englands series-levelling 330-run victory at Old Trafford.Englands selectors, who have named Rashid alongside seamers Steven Finn and Jake Ball in a 13-man squad for the third Test, have steered clear from playing two spinners in recent home Tests - the last instance came in 2013 when Graeme Swann and Simon Kerrigan featured against Australia at The Oval. However, with the Edgbaston wicket suited to spin, former Test captain Botham believes the Yorkshire bowler should get his chance as England look to take a stranglehold on the series. Rashid celebrates taking a wicket during the ODI series with Sri Lanka Id really like to see Rashid play, said Botham. Edgbaston is a turning wicket and having another spinner in the side will give England more options.The selectors traditionally dont like playing two spinners but I know this is something they are seriously talking about for this Test. BEEFYS BETS Sir Ian Botham expects Joe Root to star again at Edgbaston and has tipped him at 5/1 to be top bat. Rashid is yet to figure in a Test on home soil but has proved a valuable part of Englands limited-overs squad with both bat and ball.The Yorkshireman would provide extra strength to the batting, particularly in Stokes absence, but Botham feels Rashid should be picked for his bowling and is his tip to claim most England first-innings wickets with Sky Bet at 5/1.I wouldnt select him just because he can bat, Botham added.Hes an improving bowler who will only get better by playing and bowling in Test matches. England should have enough strength in their batting with the likes of Chris Woakes batting at nine.

Englands Joe Root says removing risk from his game by batting at No 3 has helped his performances after receiving the man of the match award again Root landed the man-of-the-match award for his 254 at Manchester and has now scored 382 runs in the series.Botham added: Root is Englands best player and well see plenty more big scores from him in his career.Last week, the Sky Bet tipster enjoyed a clean sweep with all three selections - Joe Root (7/2) top England bat, Chris Woakes top England bowler (5/2) and the England win returning at a combined price of 16/1.BEEFYS THIRD TEST BETSEngland win - 4/6Top England bat 1st inns: Joe Root - 5/2Top England bowler 1st inns: Adil Rashid - 5/1 (Chris Woakes 5/2 if Rashid doesnt start)Joe Root top England bat and Adil Rashid top England bowler (1st inns) - 14/1Joe Root top England bat and Adil Rashid top England bowler and England win - 20/1 Also See: Fixtures/results Live cricket on Sky Get Sky Sports Cricket videos Gale Sayers Jersey .com) - The disappointing Ottawa Senators hope to record consecutive wins for the first time since early November, as they visit the Boston Bruins on Friday for the opener of a home-and-home series.
