England’s cricket team has unveiled its squads for an upcoming white-ball tour to New Zealand, kicking off on October 18. The trip features three exciting T20I matches against the Black Caps, followed by a three-match ODI series.
In a big highlight, batter Zak Crawley earns his first-ever T20I call-up for England. Crawley, who’s already shone in Test and ODI cricket, brings fresh energy to the shortest format.
The ODI squad sees new inclusions for all-rounders Sam Curran and Liam Dawson, plus Lancashire seamer Luke Wood, who’s impressed in recent T20I outings. Captain Harry Brook leads the side, with stars like Jos Buttler, Joe Root, and Jofra Archer ready to feature.
For the T20I series, England rests Ben Duckett, Jamie Smith, and fast bowler Jofra Archer to manage workloads. Unfortunately, Lancashire’s Saqib Mahmood sits out the tour after minor knee surgery.
Here’s the full ODI squad: Harry Brook (captain), Rehan Ahmed, Jofra Archer, Sonny Baker, Tom Banton, Jacob Bethell, Jos Buttler, Brydon Carse, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson, Ben Duckett, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Luke Wood.
