The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) on Tuesday, May 13 announced The Three Lions’ squads for the upcoming white-ball series against West Indies. England is set to play against West Indies, set to be played from May 29 till June 10. It is to be noted that the two countries will first play a three-match ODI series until June 3, followed by the T20I leg, which will conclude on June 10.
Coming back to the squad announcement, it saw a couple of changes as England opener Phil Salt was dropped from the ODI setup. Moreover, the Three Lions will be led by Harry Brook, who was named England’s white-ball captain following Jos Buttler relinquishing the role following dismal Champions Trophy 2025 campaign.

In a notable move, Liam Dawson has made a return and is set to play his first T20I after almost three years. Will Jacks has also returned in the white-ball setup, having played last against the Caribbean team in November 2024. Matthew Potts has also been included in both squads after last playing an ODI against Australia in September 2024.
England also welcomed Tom Hartley back into the ODI squad after the spinner last played for them in September 2023. Brydon Carse has also made a comeback, after exiting the Champions Trophy early due to a toe injury, whereas his replacement Rehan Ahmed has found a place in the white-ball setup.
