Bethell returns as England call up youngsters Jack and Rew

England's Jacob Bethell is set to rejoin the team for their upcoming white-ball tour of Australia, following a knee injury he sustained in July. Bethell, who has been sidelined since the incident, will be part of a near-full-strength squad for three one-day internationals. The tour will see the inclusion of young talents Thomas Rew and Eddie Jack, both making their first international appearances.

Rew, a 21-year-old wicketkeeper-batter from Hampshire, and Jack, a 21-year-old fast bowler from Hampshire, have been included in the squads ahead of the Test tour of South Africa. Bethell's return highlights the selection decisions England will have to face for the upcoming Test series in South Africa. Harry Brook, the captain of England's one-day team, will lead the squad in both the ODI and T20 legs of the tour.

The tour kicks off with the first ODI in Perth on November 13 and concludes with the final T20 in Canberra on December 2, a week before England's warm-up match in South Africa.
