Liam Dawson has admitted he is currently a better white than red-ball cricketer, but nevertheless hopes he can help England retain control in the field if he is selected for the Test team in India.Dawson confesses he was very surprised to be called-up to replace the injured Zafar Ansari in Englands Test squad in India. But, while he claimed a modest-looking 22 Championship wickets during the 2016 season, Dawson feels he fulfilled a valuable role for his Hampshire side and is confident he can replicate it with England.Specifically, despite bowling on surfaces that generally offered him little, he conceded only 2.85 runs per over and contributed over 600 runs with the bat at an average of 33.89. Combined with his experience of bowling under pressure in limited-overs cricket, Dawson feels he offers some control with the ball. Certainly Dawson is a much more accomplished bowler than the one that was carted for five sixes in succession (and off the first five balls of an over; the final one cost only a single) by Ben Stokes in a County Championship game in 2011.Id admit my white-ball cricket is a lot stronger than my red-ball cricket, Dawson said. But Ive played a lot of red-ball cricket and I feel Im still improving in that area. If I get the opportunity, hopefully Ill offer some control with the ball. Thats what I do with Hampshire. Thats all I can do if selected for England.I did all right in the Championship. I only played 12 games, due to the one-day series. People see my season as only getting 22 wickets and say it is very poor, but I did bowl well and I did give Hampshire control. Thats something hopefully I can do if I play in the Test match. Thats my job and thats been my job for the last three years at the Ageas Bowl: to score runs and bring control with the ball. Thats all I can do if I play.Dawson has been playing in the Bangladesh Premier League. He went to Bangladesh as part of the England limited-overs squad almost as soon as the domestic season finished and then stayed on to play for Rangpur Riders. He is, therefore, match fit and has been playing regularly, but only in white ball cricket. For that reason, England may be reluctant to draft him straight into the Test team in Mumbai - the fourth Test starts on December 8 - increasing the suspicion that England might play two spinners (Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid) and four seamers (with Stuart Broad, if fit, adding to the three who played in Mohali), though any firm decision will only be made once they have taken a look at the pitch. Dawson has also never played in India, though he has been on various training camps to the country and was in the World T20 squad earlier this year.My job is to offer control, but if the wicket is spinning keep landing it in the right area and hopefully the wicket does the rest, Dawson said. Theres no doubt the Indian batsmen are exceptional players. Its an amazing challenge for me and if I am to play itll be a huge honour.Dawson has a good chance of keeping his place in Englands limited-overs squad which is to be named on Monday night. Having made his debut in the T20I and ODI teams in July and September respectively, he can expect to be named in the squad for the games (three ODIs and three T20Is) in India in the new year.With Eoin Morgan returning as captain and Alex Hales as opening batsman, there are difficult decisions to make over a couple of other positions. Jonny Bairstow looks especially vulnerable, though James Vince, Sam Billings and Ben Duckett may be competing for one or two places. Joe Root, who was rested for the series in Bangladesh, is keen to play despite expecting his first child at the start of January. One or two of the all-rounders who feature in all formats of the game, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes and Ben Stokes, might also be rested.Meanwhile, it is anticipated that Haseeb Hameed will return to India in the coming days to watch the final two Tests as he recovers from the operation on his hand.

Waltons setback in his comeback from ankle surgery. Koppen, an 11-year veteran who played his first nine seasons with the Patriots, was caught in a pile early in the workout and was carted off the field and taken for an MRI, which revealed the season-ending injury. Manny Ramirez, who took most of the snaps at centre during Denvers off-season practices, stepped in for Koppen, whose teams have gone 108-28 in games he has started. Later in the day, the Broncos signed free-agent centre Steve Vallos, pending a physical. Vallos is a six-year veteran who has played in Seattle, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Jacksonville with nine career starts. "I always cringe," a sombre-sounding coach John Fox said after practice. "You never like to see players get injured, particularly severely injured. But you understand when you do this long enough, whether youre a player or a coach, that this happens. You know, you get them back ready. And youve got some guys that have worked hard off of injuries last year and it will be no different this year." Koppens injury is the latest setback to Peyton Mannings patched-up pocket of protection. Left guarrd Zane Beadles was the only starting lineman to come out of last season unscathed.dddddddddddd All-Pro left tackle Ryan Clady has been limited at training camp since signing a $57.5 million contract earlier this month as he recovers from right shoulder surgery. Tackle Orlando Franklin (toe, shoulder) and guard Chris Kuper (ankle) are also coming off surgeries. Franklin has been back at practice but Kuper hasnt. With Kuper needing another operation this off-season, the Broncos signed right guard Louis Vasquez in free agency. Ramirez started 11 games at right guard last season. "We need that flexibility," Fox said. "When you pick your offensive line, not just for the season, but for game day, you have to pick them from the standpoint of having some flexibility. Youve got to have a swing guard/centre, youve got to have a swing tackle/guard, for the games." Defensive lineman Derek Wolfe also sprained an ankle and didnt return to Saturdays practice, which was the second straight workout in full pads for the Broncos. "Thats the Catch-22 any coach goes through any time of year," Fox said. "Youre getting ready for the season and you need to get into pads because youve got to get in shape and yet youre still trying to make sure youve got enough guys to battle with." ' ' '
