England call up players for group training: Full list of players included and big players overlooked

London, May 29: England have named a 55-man squad to join up for England group training, including 14 uncapped players.

Will Jacks, Dan Lawrence, Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Henry Brookes are among those selected yet to feature at the international level, but the experienced duo Alex Hales and Liam Plunkett failed to make the cut.

David Willey, Ben Duckett and Dawid Malan, however, will be hoping to make a return for England after they were asked to report for sessions that will go ahead subject to government approval.

Bowlers were able to begin individual training last week for the first time since they were forced into lockdown due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

There has been no confirmation of when England will play next, but a large training group was announced on Friday ahead of a proposed Test series with West Indies on home soil, as well as one-day games against Ireland.

The pool of players will give selectors strong options when it comes to selecting squads across formats further down the line, as the board moves closer to its aim of playing international cricket this summer.
