LONDON: The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) on Wednesday, announced a 14-member squad for the upcoming white-ball series against West Indies, marking the return of their regular captain Jos Buttler.
Buttler missed the recent T20I and ODI series against Australia as he continued his recovery from a calf injury.
Meanwhile, Yorkshire leg-spinner Jafer Chohan earned his maiden call-up, becoming the first graduate of the South Asian Cricket Academy to be selected to an England Men’s squad.
Besides Chohan, John Turner and Dan Mousley are the other uncapped players. The duo were a part of the recent white-ball squads against Australia while Turner also toured the West Indies last December.
