England captain Eoin Morgan will lead a much-changed 16-man squad during January’s five-match Twenty20 tour of the West Indies.
No players involved in the ongoing Ashes will be involved in the tour, which starts on 22 January – four days after the final Test in Australia. Left-armers George Garton and David Payne are the two uncapped players.
Paul Collingwood will stand in as head coach, with Chris Silverwood taking a break after the Ashes.
Squad: Eoin Morgan (Middlesex – captain), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Tom Banton (Somerset), Sam Billings (Kent), Liam Dawson (Hampshire), George Garton (Sussex), Chris Jordan (Surrey), Liam Livingstone (Lancashire), Saqib Mahmood (Lancashire), Tymal Mills (Sussex), David Payne (Gloucestershire), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Jason Roy (Surrey), Phil Salt (Lancashire), Reece Topley (Surrey), James Vince (Hampshire).
Collingwood, who captained England to T20 World Cup success in the West Indies in 2010, will be assisted by former opener Marcus Trescothick.
The squad includes 11 players who were involved in the T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates in October and November, where England lost in the semi-finals to New Zealand.
Reigning champions West Indies were knocked out in the group stage of the World Cup, with just one win from five games.
The five-match series, which starts England’s build-up to the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia from October 16, is followed by a three-match Test series in March. (BBC Sport)
