Onions recalled to England's Ashes squad

7:51 am on 6 July 2009

The England pace bowler Graham Onions has retained his place in the squad for the game of the Ashes series against Australia starting on Wednesday night in Cardiff.

26-year-old Onions, who made his Test debut earlier this season against the West Indies, has been preferred to his Durham team-mate Steve Harmison.

Batsman Ian Bell and left arm spinner Monty Panesar return to the line-up along with the all rounder Andrew Flintoff.
