England Names 16-Member Squad for ODI Tri-Series in Pakistan Without Buttler and Archer
England has announced a 16-member squad for the upcoming ODI tri-series in Pakistan against Pakistan and Sri Lanka starting October 18. The squad includes uncapped players Mason Crane, Henry Crocombe, and James Coles. Leg-spinner Adil Rashid and all-rounder Sam Curran return from injury, while fast bowler Jofra Archer is rested to manage workload. Wicket-keeper Jos Buttler is sidelined due to a hamstring injury sustained during the recent ODI series against Sri Lanka. Selector Marcus North highlighted the tri-series as a valuable opportunity for the team.
