FOR ICC WC ODI ENGLAND SQUAD NAMED HARRY BROOK ANF JOFRA ARCHER EXCLUDED

England world cup squad : Stokes return but two key players left out

 

Ben Stokes’s ODI return has squeezed starlet Harry Brook out of England’s squad for October’s World Cup defense, while Jofra Archer’s hopes of making it are all but over.

Stokes and Archer were the stars of England’s maiden 50-over World Cup triumph in 2019 but it seems increasingly unlikely they will combine in the defence.

Stokes has reversed his decision to retire from ODIs last July, and goes straight into the squad as a specialist batsman at Brook’s expense.

Jos Buttler (Lancashire – captain), Moeen Ali (Warwickshire), Gus Atkinson (Surrey), Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire), Sam Curran (Surrey), Liam Livingstone (Lancashire), Dawid Malan (Yorkshire), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Jason Roy (Surrey), Ben Stokes (Durham), Reece Topley (Surrey), David Willey (Northamptonshire), Mark Wood (Durham), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire)
