Only six players from their World Cup squad have been retained by England for the white-ball series against the West Indies, including captain Jos Buttler. The selectors of England have announced a new squad for three ODIs and five T20Is to be played from 3rd to 21st December. Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Chris Jordan, and Brydon Carse are the other five players in the squad.
Josh Tongue, Ollie Pope, and Jon Turner, all of whom are uncapped in ODIs, have been included in the setup for the 50-over format for the Caribbean tour, while Test opener Jack Crawley and Ben Duckett are also part of the 15-member squad.
ODI Squad: Jos Buttler (Captain), Rehan Ahmad, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Brydon Carse, Jack Crawley, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Tom Hartley, Will Jacks, Ollie Pope, Phil Salt, Josh Tongue, Jon Turner.
T20 Squad: Jos Buttler (Captain), Rehan Ahmad, Moin Ali, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Liam Livingstone, Tom Mills, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Josh Tongue, Reece Topley, Jon Turner, Chris Woakes.
Moeen Ali, who was left out of the 50-over team for the West Indies series, has been included in the T20 squad. Reece Topley, Chris Woakes, and Adil Rashid, who are part of the World Cup squad, did not make the cut for the West Indies ODIs but will feature in the T20I leg of the series.
Joe Root, David Malan, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, David Willey (retired), and Mark Wood are among the players excluded from the World Cup squad.
