The England Men's selection panel has named a 14-player squad for the upcoming T20 and ODI series away to West Indies in October and November.

England Men’s squad:

Jacob Bethell (Warwickshire)
Jafer Chohan (Yorkshire)

England Men’s white-ball captain Jos Buttler is set to return for the white-ball tour of West Indies later this month. Buttler missed the recent Vitality T20 and Metro Bank ODI Series against Australia as he continued his recovery from a calf injury.

Yorkshire leg-spinner Jafer Chohan earns his first England Men’s call-up and becomes the first graduate of the South Asian Cricket Academy to be selected to an England Men's squad.

John Turner and Dan Mousley are the only other uncapped players. Both were a part of the recent white-ball squads against Australia, while Turner also toured the Caribbean last December.

An initial 14-player squad has been selected, which will be supplemented with two players from the Test squad in Pakistan. A decision on the two players to join the white-ball squad in the Caribbean is to be made after selection for the third Test in Rawalpindi, which begins on Thursday 24 October.

England Men will play West Indies Men in three ODIs and five T20s during the three-week tour of Antigua, Barbados and St Lucia.
