England selectors have announced a 14-man squad for the Royal London One-Day International Series against Sri Lanka, which concludes in Cardiff at The SSE SWALEC on 2nd July.
Eoin Morgan will lead an experienced ODI squad with all representatives having played for England at this level before. England begin the series at Trent Bridge on Tuesday 21 June.
Seven players remain from the ICC World IT20 final defeat to West Indies for the IT20 clash that folllows the ODI Series. Moeen Ali, Alex Hales and Joe Root are all rested and all-rounder Ben Stokes is ruled out with a knee injury.
National Selector, James Whitaker, said: “We have made good progress over the past 12 months in all white ball cricket, which has been very encouraging.
“The six matches coming up against Sri Lanka will give the players a good test of their credentials. It is important for this group of players to make a mark this summer as we continue to improve ahead of hosting the ICC Champions Trophy tournament this time next year.
“The IT20 squad has a balanced feel to it with an exciting blend of youth and experience. This is our first test since reaching the final of the ICC World T20 and we know the players will want to ensure that they play well and win the match.
“This is also an opportunity, if selected, for two new players to showcase their skills at this level. Tymal Mills has been one of the standout performers with the ball in the NatWest T20 Blast competition this season and deserves his chance.
“Dawid Malan has made great strides as an attacking batsman, both with Middlesex and the England Lions. We were particularly impressed with his three fifties during the winter tour of the UAE against Pakistan A.
“On behalf of the selectors, I would like to wish Eoin Morgan and Trevor Bayliss all the very best for what I’m sure will be a very competitive and entertaining series.”
