England Cricket Team World Cup 2023 Squad
On Sunday, while announcing the squad for the ODI World Cup 2023, England named batsman Harry Brook at the expense of Jason Roy. Brook, who was left out of the provisional World Cup squad, made the cut despite a string of failures in the recent series against New Zealand. But he was impressive in the IPL, and Captain Jos Buttler has kept faith with the 24-year-old, saying last month that the door was not closed for Brook.
With Roy sidelined because of a back injury, Malan opened the batting against New Zealand, and the 36-year-old became the joint-fastest Englishman to get to 1,000 ODI runs, reaching the mark in 21 innings to match Kevin Pietersen and Jonathan Trott.
England men’s national selector Luke Wright said in a statement, "We have selected a squad we are confident can go to India and win the World Cup."
"We are blessed with an incredibly strong group of white-ball players, which was underlined by the performances in the series win against a very good New Zealand team. The strength of the group has meant that we have had to make some tough decisions on world-class players, with Jason Roy missing out and Harry Brook coming into the squad."
Squad: Jos Buttler (captain), Moeen Ali, Gus Atkinson, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Reece Topley, David Willey, Mark Wood, Chris Woakes
