The England Men’s selection panel has named the squads for the upcoming Metro Bank One-Day International Series vs New Zealand.
Ben Stokes returns to the England Men’s ODI set-up after deciding to reverse his decision to retire from the format while uncapped Surrey quick Gus Atkinson is included in the 15-player squad.
Jos Buttler's men will take on New Zealand in ODI action for the first time since their World Cup Final epic in Cardiff, in which Ben Stokes gave an unforgettable man-of-the-match performance.
This epic rivalry continues on Friday, 8th September and there are limited tickets remaining. Get yours HERE
England Men’s National Selector, Luke Wright, said: “We have been able to name two extremely strong squads that underline the depth of talent we enjoy in white-ball cricket.
“The return of Ben Stokes only adds to that quality with his match-winning ability and leadership. I am certain that every fan will enjoy seeing him back in an England ODI shirt again.
“We’re also excited to give first international call-ups to both Gus Atkinson and John Turner while Josh Tongue has deserved a place in the T20 squad after impressing during the Ashes.
“Any series against New Zealand is closely fought and will provide us with an ideal opportunity to test ourselves against one of the best teams in the world.”
