England begin ODI tri-series against Pakistan in Rawalpindi
England begin their ODI tri-series against Pakistan in Rawalpindi on Tuesday with Harry Brook as captain and Adil Rashid and Sam Curran back in the squad.
England open their ODI tri-series against Pakistan in Rawalpindi on Tuesday. Sri Lanka make up the third side, but the focus stays on the white-ball squad Harry Brook leads.
Brook gets his first assignment as captain after selectors picked a 16-man group. Adil Rashid and Sam Curran return, while Jos Buttler and Jofra Archer stay at home. The trip also hands opportunities to spinners Will Jacks, James Coles and recalled leg-spinner Mason Crane, each keen to show they can handle Test conditions ahead of the South Africa tour in December.
England wrapped up their ODI series against Sri Lanka on September 27. A winter schedule that stretches from white-ball games in Australia to Tests in South Africa, Bangladesh and a pink-ball fixture in March now awaits.
