England Announces Squad for Upcoming ODI and T20 Series Against West Indies
Exciting Series Ahead for England and West Indies
The England cricket team is set to face off against the West Indies in a series of One Day Internationals (ODIs) and T20 matches starting May 29. The recently announced squad features several prominent players from IPL 2025, which has caused concern for various franchises. This series marks Harry Brook's debut as the white-ball captain for England.
England Aims for Strong Performance Against West Indies
Under the leadership of Harry Brook, England will compete in three ODIs and three T20 matches against the West Indies. Notably, Phil Salt has been dropped from the ODI team, and Liam Livingstone has been excluded from both formats. This decision is a relief for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) as both players are part of their roster. However, key players like Jofra Archer, Jos Buttler, Will Jacks, and Jacob Bethell will miss IPL 2025, as they are required to join the national team by May 25.
