England name unchanged squad for Pakistan ODIs

The 16-man group includes Tom Banton, who replaced Dawid Malan midway through the current series against Sri Lanka after the left-hander left the bio-secure camp for personal reasons

England have named an unchanged squad for the three-match ODI series against Pakistan.

The 16-man group includes Tom Banton, who replaced Dawid Malan midway through the current series against Sri Lanka after the left-hander left the bio-secure camp for personal reasons.

There is a place once again for George Garton, who is yet to make his international debut but is one of three left-arm seam options along with Sam Curran and David Willey.

England have already secured a series victory against Sri Lanka, with Eoin Morgan and Joe Root making unbeaten half centuries in an eight-wicket victory at the Kia Oval on Thursday.

Alongside Garton, Liam Dawson is the only other player in the squad not to have featured yet in the opening leg of England’s white-ball summer, with the squad for the T20I series against Pakistan to be named later in July.

England squad: Eoin Morgan, Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Tom Banton, Sam Billings, Sam Curran, Tom Curran, Liam Dawson, George Garton, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood
