India, Nov. 10 -- Spinner Liam Patterson-White earned his first test call-up for the three-test cricket series away to South Africa, while Jacob Bethell is recalled following a knee injury.

England named its squad on Monday for what will be Stephen Fleming's first series as head coach after Brendan McCullum was fired following a dismal Ashes defeat in Australia.

The 28-year-old Patterson-White is a left-arm finger spinner and took 42 wickets for Nottinghamshire in the top tier of the county championship this season, more than any other spinner, at an average of 25.11. He will form England's bowling unit along with swing specialist Ollie Robinson and pacers Josh Tongue, Jofra Archer and Gus Atkinson.
