Nothing changes, you mention "Ben's mates" the England setup has always been the same, very cliquey.
I wouldn’t say that at all. Stone , Archer and Leach are injured otherwise Wood would have not played this series and you definitely wouldn’t have had a player from Worcestershire being selected. Tongue was very much unknown prior to the start of the summer.

That said test captains are part of the selection panel.
