England has announced a 16-man squad for their one-day tri-series in Pakistan, scheduled from October 18 to 31. The team includes spinner Adil Rashid and all-rounder Sam Curran, who return to the squad after recovering from their respective injuries. Additionally, uncapped trio Mason Crane, Henry Crocombe, and James Coles have earned their first ODI call-ups. Cricket analyst Mark Greatbatch expressed optimism about the potential of the young talent in the squad, particularly praising Mason Crane's skills.
Crane, a 29-year-old leg-spinner, has been eight years since his last appearance for England in ODIs. Meanwhile, batsman Harry Brook will captain the team, while wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler is absent due to a hamstring injury. Fast bowler Jofra Archer has been rested to manage his workload. The Pakistan Cricket Board's Talent Hunt Programme seems to be working effectively, with the tri-series featuring matches against Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
The final will be held at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium, where the top two teams, England and Sri Lanka, will compete.
