Overview
- Jofra Archer is selected for the T20 World Cup but will miss the late‑January Sri Lanka series to continue rehab from a left‑side strain.
- Josh Tongue receives a maiden T20I call-up after standout Ashes displays and a league‑leading wicket tally in The Hundred.
- Brydon Carse will deputise for Archer across three ODIs and three T20Is in Sri Lanka from January 22 to February 3.
- Notable omissions from the provisional plans include Jamie Smith, Jordan Cox and Liam Livingstone, while Will Jacks returns to both squads and Zak Crawley rejoins the ODI group.
- England can alter the World Cup squad up to a week before the tournament; the campaign opens against Nepal in Mumbai on February 8 with Group C games also against West Indies, Bangladesh and Italy.
