England has announced its limited-overs tour of the West Indies, retaining six players from the World Cup squad, including skipper Jos Buttler. The defending champions failed to qualify for the World Cup semifinals in India, winning only three of their nine league games. Their final victory came against Pakistan in Kolkata on Saturday night.
Ben Stokes, who returned from ODI retirement to play in the World Cup, will not be part of the ODI and T20I squads for the West Indies series. He is expected to undergo knee surgery upon his return to England from India.
Uncapped seamers Josh Tongue and John Turner have been included in the ODI and T20I squads. The six players who were part of England’s lackluster campaign in India and are now touring the West Indies are Buttler, Gus Atkinson, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Sam Curran, and Liam Livingstone.
England will compete in three ODIs and five T20Is in the Caribbean. After their final game in the World Cup, Buttler emphasized the need for some changes in the team’s approach to build something new but stated that there would not be a significant overhaul of the squad.
The ODI squad includes Jos Buttler, Rehan Ahmed, Gus Atkinson, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Zak Crawley, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Tom Hartley, Will Jacks, Liam Livingstone, Ollie Pope, Phil Salt, Josh Tongue, and John Turner. The T20I squad comprises Jos Buttler, Rehan Ahmed, Moeen Ali, Gus Atkinson, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Liam Livingstone, Tymal Mills, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Josh Tongue, Reece Topley, John Turner, and Chris Woakes.
