Chris Read has recovered from a bad start in Test cricket to work his way up a list of young talent aiming to take the wicket-keeping gloves left by Alec Stewart.
Read looked all at sea when he made his Test debut aged 20 against New Zealand in 1999 and was promptly dropped after three Tests and spent four years in the wilderness, working hard to improve his game at Nottinghamshire.
He returned to the one-day side last summer, earning a reputation as a smart stumper who could contribute useful runs down the order.
But a poor return with the bat in the Test series in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and West Indies saw Read eventually replaced by Geraint Jones for the final Test in the Caribbean.
His place in the limited-overs side looks assured in the short term, but his battle with Jones for the Test spot looks set to continue.
Thanks for all your questions.
A selection of the best will be put to Chris Read on Monday and his answers will appear here shortly.
