Bethell can click on Zak Crawlyy or Frontline Spinner Shoiaib Bashir to get a place on the eleventh but realistically is the choice between a man Warwikchire and Pope.
Former Wright in England, Wright, rejected the proposal that the lack of clarity about the position of Bethel could disturb the members known to the team.
“Everyone knows before you enter any game,” Wright said. “There are always places to seize,” Wright said. “I don't think anyone considers it to be a foreground in the international cricket game. This is how it should be always.
“You want a strong team. They are all big boys knowing everything. There will always be speculation about what Xi will be. I'm sure the players will be completely aware of what is going on and how it will look before this first test.”
Elsewhere, Jimmy Overton returns to the test team for the first time in three years, but Matthew Pots misses.
Wright explained that England wants the option of the additional Overton pace, while Potus fell behind Sam Cook as Chris Wox.
It was also emphasized that Jofra Archer plans to play with Sussex in the Durham Championship match, starting from June 22.
Archer, not played the red cricket game for more than four years due to a series of injuries.
He could have played with England Lions against India in Northhampton on Friday if it was not a thumb injury.
Instead, he will look to play with Sussex SECOND XI, then the first team in Chester-Lle-Street, with a goal for the second or third test against India.
