Jos Buttler will return as white-ball captain for England’s tour of the West Indies (WI) starting later this month after a long injury lay-off, selectors announced on Wednesday.
The 14-man squad for three One Day International (ODI) matches and five Twenty20 International (T20I) matches in Antigua, Barbados and St Lucia features three uncapped players.
Buttler missed England’s recent T20I and ODI series against Australia as he recovered from a calf injury.
England drew the T20 series 1-1 and lost the ODI series 3-2 to the 50-over world champions.
Buttler, part of England’s 2019 World Cup-winning team, is one of the most destructive batters in the game in white-ball formats.
But he has not played since the T20 World Cup in the United States and West Indies in June, where England failed to retain their trophy.
Yorkshire leg-spinner Jafer Chohan earns his first England call-up, while John Turner and Dan Mousley are the other uncapped players.
Chohan, 22, said selection “feels like an absolute dream”.
“My skill set is a very unique one and a bit different from what England has had before,” he said.
“I feel very confident in my game and I like to express myself as a person with how I bowl and I think that works to my strength.”
