Jos Buttler returns as ECB name 14-man squad for white-ball tour of WI
On Wednesday (Oct 2), the England Cricket Board (ECB) announced a 14-man squad for the upcoming white-ball tour of the West Indies. It sees the return of limited-overs skipper Jos Buttler, who missed the home T20I and ODI series versus Australia due to a calf injury. Apart from Buttler, three uncapped players were some notable inclusions. Buttler missed The Hundred due to calf issues and, as a result, also skipped the three T20Is and five ODIs versus Australia at home. Phil Salt led the T20I team in his absence, with the three-match series ending at 1-1. In the five ODIs, Harry Brook took charge of the side and despite a good fight, the hosts lost to current ODI champions 3-2.
Speaking of the uncapped players, Jafer Chohan is a new addition altogether. He has claimed 22 wickets so far from 23 matches in his short career. In addition, fast bowler John Turner and spin-bowling all-rounder Dan Mousley are the other uncapped players. However, the duo were part of the ODI squad versus Australia but didn't get a game.
Turner, who was a part of the Caribbean tour last December as well, has accounted for 35 and 42 wickets in his List A and T20 career. On the other hand, Mousley has amassed 1,100 runs in his short T20 career along with 50 wickets from 63 matches.
Notably, two more players will join the 14-man squad ahead of England's third Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi, beginning on Oct 24.
