Henry Crocombe will join the likes of Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Josh Tongue and Sonny Baker to constitute England’s pace line-up. 

Harry Brook will once again lead the side, and he will be joined by the likes of legendary top-order batter Jos Buttle, England’s all-time great Joe Root and seasoned spinner Adil Rashid among others. Here is a look at the complete England ODI squad for the series against Sri Lanka.

The ECB named as many as 19 England players and distributed them among both, the T20I and ODI squads of the national side, with 13 players finding themselves in the 16-member groups of both formats.

Prominent names like Jacob Bethell and Phil Salt failed to find a place in either of the two squads owing to their respective injury concerns. While Salt will be unavailable for the series owing to his right quad injury, Bethell recently underwent a successful surgery on his injured knee.
