England announce new-look white-ball squads for WI series

England announce new-look white-ball squads for WI series
, Sunday, 12 November 2023 (15:15 IST)
Looking to bounce back after their disappointing Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign, England have named a new-look playing squads for their white-ball tour of the West Indies in December.

Playing three ODIs and five T20Is from December 3-21, the series provides Jos Buttler's side with an opportunity to form new long-term plans in the 50-over game, while looking ahead to ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 in next June to be held in the West Indies and USA.

Buttler leads both squads, with just five other players from the Cricket World Cup group in India backing up to play the ODI series in the Caribbean.

Gus Atkinson, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Sam Curran and Liam Livingstone join the white-ball skipper, with the opening two 50-over matches to be played in Antigua.

Barbados hosts the last ODI and the first T20I, before Grenada and Trinidad host two T20Is each.

After a breakout home summer in the Test format, Josh Tongue has been included in both T20I and ODI squads, as well as fellow seamer John Turner. The 22-year-old has impressed for Hampshire on the domestic scene, as well as with the Trent Rockets in The Hundred.

Having missed out on qualification to feature at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, the series will mark West Indies' return to International cricket, having last played when India toured in August. The side lost the three-match ODI series 2-1, though claimed a 3-2 T20I series win.(UNI)
