England Squad For West Indies Tour: Three Uncapped Players Named as Skipper Jos Buttler Returns

Three uncapped players earned their call up and regular skipper Jos Buttler is set for return from injury as England announced their squad for the upcoming white-ball tour to the West Indies.

England will tour West Indies at the end of October for eight white-ball matches - 3 ODIs followed by 5 T20Is as familar name returns to lead the side, having missed the recent outings for the national team.

Buttler had missed the recent limited-overs series against Australia due to a calf issue. Phil Salt and Harry Brook had led the T20I and ODI sides respectively in his absence as England levelled the T20I series, but narrowly lost the ODI series.

Uncapped leg-spinner Jafer Chohan, who has played 23 T20s but is yet to make his List A debut, is among the three uncapped players in the squad, while John Turner and Dan Mousley, who were part of the Australia series and did not feature, are the other uncapped players.

England has named a 14-player squad with two players from the Test squad in Pakistan to be added. The choice of these two players for the white-ball squad in the Caribbean will be determined after the selection for the third Test in Rawalpindi, which begins on Thursday, 24 October.

Most players, who featured in the recent squad for the Australia series, have retained their places. Jofra Archer, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Jacob Bethell, Will Jacks and Sam Curran among others feature in the squad for the Windies tour, while Brook and Ben Duckett could be in contention to earn the other two spots.
