London: England have recalled opener Keaton Jennings and wicketkeeper-batsman Ben Foakes for next month's Sri Lanka tour.
Jonny Bairstow was dropped and James Anderson was left at home to continue his recovery while Moeen Ali remains unavailable.
Meanwhile, Rory Burns has been ruled out with an ankle injury, Jennings will compete with Dom Sibley and Zak Crawley for a place at the top of the order, while Joe Denly also retains his place in the squad.
Anderson, who suffered a cracked rib during the Test series in South Africa, has been left out to continue his recovery and ensure he is back up to speed for home series against West Indies and Pakistan later in the year.
The other addition to the squad is Ben Foakes. The 26-year-old was man of the series on England's last trip to Sri Lanka and is the second wicketkeeper in the squad, alongside Jos Buttler.
Ali's self-imposed absence continues but Jack Leach has recovered from illness and the left-armer is one of three frontline spinners in the squad, alongside Somerset team-mate Dom Bess and Lancashire leggie Matt Parkinson.
Stuart Broad, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood and vice-captain Ben Stokes provide the seam bowling options but Joe Root will have to do without Jofra Archer. The fast bowler is missing due to a stress fracture in his right elbow.
"The South Africa tour marked the emergence of a very exciting group of young players, creating a nice balance with an experienced core of senior players," national selector Ed Smith said.
"That squad is mostly retained, with some tweaks relevant to injury, rest and the challenges of playing in subcontinent conditions.
"Jonny Bairstow has been in England squads across the three formats without a significant break. This two-Test tour presents a good opportunity for Jonny to be rested.
"Moeen Ali is still unavailable for Test selection. The selectors are in consistent dialogue with Moeen and he remains a valued player in England cricket."
England Test squad: Joe Root (captain), Dominic Bess, Stuart Broad, Jos Buttler, Zak Crawley, Sam Curran, Joe Denly, Ben Foakes, Keaton Jennings, Jack Leach, Matthew Parkinson, Ollie Pope, Dominic Sibley, Ben Stokes (vice-captain), Chris Woakes, Mark Wood.
