England has announced their limited-overs tour of the West Indies starting December 3, with six players from the World Cup squad, including captain Jos Buttler, making the cut. Despite a disappointing World Cup campaign, England is sticking with some familiar faces for the upcoming series. However, Ben Stokes, who came out of ODI retirement to play in the World Cup, will not be part of the ODI and T20I squads for the West Indies tour as he is expected to undergo knee surgery. Uncapped seamers Josh Tongue and John Turner are included in both squads.
The six players from the World Cup squad retained for the West Indies tour are Buttler, Gus Atkinson, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Sam Curran, and Liam Livingstone. England is scheduled to play three ODIs and five T20Is in the Caribbean, and after their final game in the World Cup, Buttler emphasized the need for change and improvement in the team.
The ODI squad includes Rehan Ahmed, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Tom Hartley, Will Jacks, Ollie Pope, and more along with skipper Buttler. On the other hand, the T20I squad features Moeen Ali, Tymal Mills, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley, and Chris Woakes alongside the captain. Despite failing to qualify for the World Cup semifinals, England is looking to build on their performance and work towards becoming a top team again.
