In six T20s for England this summer, Roy averaged just 12.66 at a pedestrian strike rate of 77.55 – his career average is 24.15 at a strike rate of 137.61 – before things get worse in the Hundred, where in six innings for the Oval Invincibles he averaged just 8.5, with three ducks. With several younger batters in exciting form and Dawid Malan excelling at the top of the order for Trent Rockets, Roy’s claims for a place have been fatally undermined. However, Chris Woakes and Mark Wood, who due to injuries have not played a T20 game since last year’s World Cup semi-final defeat to New Zealand – nor have they appeared in the first team in any format since March – are included in the And the two groups were judged to have recovered from knee and elbow complaints respectively. Both underwent surgery in July in an attempt to speed up their recovery in time for the trip to Australia. Only three players feature in the 15-man squad for the World Cup who also did not feature in last year’s tournament in the United Arab Emirates, with Phil Salt, Harry Brook and Test captain Ben Stokes replacing Roy, Eoin Morgan, who captained of the team but has since retired from international cricket, and Sam Billings. Liam Dawson, Richard Gleeson and Tymal Mills have been named as traveling reserves. Quick guide

A 19-man squad has been named for the historic visit to Pakistan, England’s first in 17 years. Despite being named in Chris Jordan’s World Cup squad, Liam Livingstone and Mills will remain in England to continue rehabilitation work on respective finger, ankle and toe injuries, while Jos’ calf injury Buttler is expected to prevent him from playing in the first few matches – when Moeen Ali will captain the team – but will not prevent him from travelling. Five players traveling to Pakistan are yet to play a T20 for England, with Jordan Cox the youngest in the squad at 21. Surrey’s Will Jacks, Middlesex’s Tom Helm and Lancashire’s Luke Wood have all been selected, while Warwickshire’s Olly Stone, having already represented his country in Tests and ODIs, returns to England with what is hoped will be the end of a nightmare run of injuries which saw him consider retiring from internationals at 28.
