West Indies vs England ODI Series - Squad and Key Players for England

Updated At: 2024/10/27

After completing a Test series against Pakistan, England is all set to travel West Indies for a 3-match ODI series. It was not a positive end for England in the red-ball format against Pakistan as the visitors lost the series by 2-1.

England, after scoring a dominating win in the first Test, failed to continue the momentum and ended up two consecutive losses against Pakistan. However, the ECB has made some changes in the white-ball squad for the Caribbean series and a positive start in the first fixture will be a major boost for the team.

Expert free tips are available for the first fixture of the West vs England ODI series.

Jos Buttler, Rehan Ahmed, Jofra Archer, Jacob Bethell, Jafer Chohan, Jordan Cox, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Liam Livingstone (ODI captain), Saqib Mahmood, Dan Mousley, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Reece Topley, John Turner.

England and Wales Cricket Board have shown their trust in Liam Livingstone for the leadership role in the ODI series. He will be leading the team in the ODI series for three matches.

Wicket-keeper Jordan Cox has been added to the squad which will give the team an added depth in the batting unit. For the ODI format, he will be expecting his maiden cap for the team.

Another big change in the squad has been the addition of Rehan Ahmed. The 20-year-old made his ODI debut for the team in 2023 and he has been a successful addition.

However, Rehan might not be featured in the first ODI. He will be flying in late to the Caribbean islands and will be available from the 2nd ODI. In his absence, Adil Rashid will act as a key spinner for the team.

Jos Buttler will be available for the T20 international series but not for the ODI series. It is a major blow to England as Buttler failed to recover from his calf injury. In his absence, Jordan Cox will play a crucial role for the team.
