When the 17-man party for the Ashes is named next month there will be at least five players who give thanks that they were elsewhere when Australia was being slaughtered in India.When Tasmania all-rounder James Faulkner saw Moises Henriques named in the Indian party he must have turned green. Not now.Bulls left-hander Usman Khawaja may have lamented he could not crack the Test team in India, but the fact that he spent the four Tests on the fringe meant selectors never got to see the worst of him.A storming finish to the Sheffield Shield season allowed Faulkner to emerge as the swooper for Ashes selection, while Henriques has lost his Test place and now faces an uncertain future.It left just enough of a question mark beside his name to ensure he would be chosen for the five-Test Ashes tour.
