England Prepares to Battle West Indies in White-Ball Series - New Captain Steps Up!
Get ready for some action, cricket fans! England has announced the squads for their upcoming white-ball series against West Indies, with the newly appointed white-ball captain Harry Brook taking the helm. This three-ODI and three-T20I series kicks off on May 29 and June 6, respectively, at home turf.
Brook is set for his first major stint as captain since permanently stepping up after England's disappointing performance in the 2025 Champions Trophy. This series presents an excellent opportunity for him to prove his mettle.
The squads feature a bunch of returning players, including Liam Dawson, who's back in the T20I arena after a long hiatus in September 2022. Luke Wood, also a left-arm seamer, makes a comeback after September 2023. Lancashire spinner Tom Hartley earns an ODI recall, last seen in action against Ireland in September 2023. Will Jacks, all-rounder for Surrey, features in both squads, marking his England comeback.

Despite their ongoing IPL commitments, Jos Buttler (Gujarat Titans), Jacob Bethell (Royal Challengers Bengaluru), and Will Jacks (Mumbai Indians) have been named in the England squads. This decision comes after the revised IPL schedule, now clashing with the ODI series. England is working closely with the BCCI to ensure a smooth return for the England players if they choose to go back.
Jofra Archer and Jamie Overton, both from Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings, respectively, have also been included in the ODI squad, but their teams have already been eliminated from the play-off race. Liam Livingstone, on the other hand, has been dropped from the squads, freeing him up to join RCB for the rest of their season, alongside Phil Salt, who's only been axed from the ODI side.
