McCullum hands Aneurin Donald T20I debut against Sri Lanka

England white-ball coach Brendon McCullum has selected Aneurin Donald for his T20I debut in the opening match against Sri Lanka. The 29-year-old Derbyshire batter will open alongside Jos Buttler at the top of the order.

Donald earned the call after a strong run of form for Derbyshire in domestic cricket. McCullum confirmed the selection on Monday and said the batter's aggressive approach fits the team's current strategy.

Phil Salt remains unavailable with a right quad injury. England have not named a revised squad for the remainder of the series, but McCullum indicated further changes could follow if Salt's recovery extends beyond the first match.
