England have named a 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup scheduled to be staged in Australia. With Chris Woakes and Mark Wood back into the squad after their respective injuries, England would be looking forward to make a strong case in the mega event. Both the seamers made their last appearance for England during West Indies Tests. Jos Buttler would be the captain of the side.
It is to be noted that England star Jason Roy has been sidelined from T20 WC and well Pakistan T20Is squad owing to his indifferent form that has stretched for a while now. It was reported that Roy had already informed his English teammates about his omission from the above-mentioned squads. Roy's England future might be in trouble in the light of recent developments.
Meanwhile, England have also named 19-member squad for the Pakistan T20Is set to get underway in late September. The Englishmen will play seven T20Is against the Men in Green. Buttler, who is recovering from a calf injury, is expected to join his side during the latter stages of the series and Moeen Ali will lead the side in his absence. Five uncapped players have also been given a look-in into the squad.
Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, who are down with finger and ankle injuries respectively, will continue their rehab and will hope to join back the squad ahead of T20 WC to be played in October.
