03 Jul, 2021

England have named an unchanged squad for a three-match One Day International series against Pakistan starting next week in Cardiff.

The current 16-man squad that is facing Sri Lanka on the home turf will also feature against Pakistan. England are currently two up in the three-game series against rookie Sri Lanka and are the hot favourites to win the third ODI as well.

Tom Banton, who had had a late call-up for the series after David Malan withdrew his name for family reasons, is one of the most exciting prospects for the games to come. The 22-year-old power player is in the form of his life and has recently scored a quick-fire hundred in the Vitality Bast T20 before being named in the squad.

The 16-member squad includes:
