How come Eoin Morgan got selected for the first Test against Sri Lanka over Ravi Bopara

Question

How come Eoin Morgan got selected for the first Test against Sri Lanka over Ravi Bopara? Morgan is a good player and scored 193 for the Lions against Sri Lanka but does Ravi deserve to lose a spot. Eoin got his cake and eat it also; he went to india to play in the IPL 2011 while Ravi stayed behind to work on his spot for the test and turned down a lucrative offer from Rajistan Royals.

Is Eoin a better player than ravi when ravi can be used as an extra bowler also?
