England name 16-player squad for Pakistan tri-series

The England and Wales Cricket Board announced a 16-player squad for the tri-series against Pakistan and Sri Lanka that runs from October 18 to 31 in Lahore and Rawalpindi. Harry Brook will continue as captain after leading England to a 2-1 ODI series win over Sri Lanka last month.

Adil Rashid returns after recovering from a hand injury, while Sam Curran is back following a groin problem. Jordan Cox keeps wicket in the absence of Jos Buttler, who suffered a hamstring injury during the Sri Lanka series. Jofra Archer has been rested.

The squad includes first-time call-ups for 22-year-old all-rounder James Coles and 21-year-old seamer Henry Crocombe. Mason Crane earns a maiden ODI selection eight years after his only Test appearance. England open the tri-series against Pakistan on October 20 in Rawalpindi.
