The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has announced the England squad for the 3-ODI series against Australia next month. The 15-man squad announced on Tuesday (October 25), also features Jason Roy, who was recently left out of the T20 setup owing to poor form.
The series will begin on November 17 in Adelaide and the remaining two ODIs will be played on November 19 in Sydney and November 22 in Melbourne. The series does not form part of the World Cup ODI Super League.
Pacer Mark Wood has been rested from the ODIs, the squad looks like a strong one as the majority of players is already in Australia for the T20 World Cup 2022.
Among the players who will be an addition to England’s squad, Vince's last ODI appearance came in July 2021 against Pakistan at home whereas Billings' most recent appearance in the format came around the same time against Sri Lanka.
Also joining the squad will be pacer Olly Stone and Chris Jordan. Stone last played an ODI in October 2018 whereas Jordan hasn't featured in the format in more than two years and was widely looked at as a T20 specialist.
Luke Wood is the only uncapped player in the squad. He went on the tour to the Netherlands in June but did not play, and is due to travel to Australia this week as a reserve after Tymal Mills replaced Reece Topley in the full squad for the World Cup.
Also included are Dawid Malan and Liam Dawson.
England Squad:
Jos Buttler (C), Moeen Ali, Sam Billings, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson, Chris Jordan, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Jason Roy, Phil Salt, Olly Stone, James Vince, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Luke Wood
