No Stokes and Root back in the ODI setup I guess is the big news. Saqib in both squads but not on the Central Contracts list is interesting, I really rate him if he can manage to stay fit.0

Would Stokes have been in the ODI squad without his latest injury?0

So it's basically the same squad apart from Rehan replacing Root for the T20s.
Jamie Overton batted very well in the Big Bash today and is back bowling too. Not sure that I would have envisaged a couple of years ago, especially given the amount that was paid for him in the IPL at that time, Sam Curran not making either squad but that is a reflection of where he is at. Not unexpectedly, though, Jacks has been left out and others to have played recently and not be included are Cox, Mousley and Topley. The latter has really struggled with injuries as has Stokes of course.
It will be interesting to see who we leave out for the Champions Trophy team but the fact that we are only taking two front line spinners almost lends selection to the inclusion of Bethell, even if Root is in the side too, which could mean no place for Smith and/or Duckett (depending on whether Buttler opens or not). I think that the side will probably look something like this:
Ben Duckett (Nottinghamshire)
Phil Salt (Lancashire)
Joe Root (Yorkshire)Harry Brook (Yorkshire)
Jos Buttler (Lancashire)
Liam Livingstone (Lancashire)
Jacob Bethell (Warwickshire)Jamie Overton (Surrey) / Brydon Carse (Durham)Adil Rashid (Yorkshire)Gus Atkinson (Surrey) / Saqib Mahmood (Lancashire)Mark Wood (Durham) / Jofra Archer (Sussex)0 -
Interesting that Keaton Jennings is playing in the Big Bash when he's never got anywhere near the England white ball sides, and is considered to be too "steady" to be a Bazball opener for England.1

The ECB have confirmed that Stokes is out for at least three months with another hamstring injury that will require surgery in January0

Ultimately, as an England fan I'm happy to see their top order in disarray but I feel sorry for both McSweeney and Konstas on a human level
I have seen two interviews with McSweeney who is a great lad and he remains very positive that he will get another chance albeit in his preferred batting position which was confirmed by George Bailey when giving delivering the news. Marnus Labuschagne also took the time to phone him and tell him that "it isn't where you start but where you finish". Matthew Hayden was dropped after half a dozen games and didn't get recalled for another three years and he went on to average over 50 in Test cricket.
Bailey said that the Aussies were looking to go in a "different direction" and Konstas' role is clearly to replicate what Warner used to do in taking the game to the opposition and the pressure off Khawaja. Konstas did not look fazed at all (in the same as Bethell doesn't) and whilst one score of 60 proves nothing (albeit that McSweeney made just 72 for five times out and Crawley scored just 52 in his six innings in the NZ series), I certainly wouldn't say that he looks out of his depth. Time will tell but the one thing that is for sure is that they will give Konstas a longer run at it than McSweeney.0 -
Just seen the Kohli incident. Hopefully the ICC actually have the balls to throw the book at him. Ridiculous behaviour.1

Talking about the ICC, once again India have stamped their feet and dictated where they are prepared to play in the Champions Trophy. As a result, all ICC tournaments hosted in India or Pakistan and involving those countries will be played at neutral venues until at least 2027. India haven't hosted Pakistan since 2008.0 -

Probably at least 60% of his match fee and triple the demerit points. Unbelievable how much stuff Indian players get away with. Someone needs to crack down harder on the likes of Kohli and Siraj who think they can get away with anything.
Going after the youngster on debut is coward behaviour from Kohli, he wouldn't do it to Mitch Marsh.2 -

What was the Kohli incident?
The only surprise is India haven't get to play their matches in India0 - Sponsored links:

India try to grind out a draw from the start of the final day, and end up being bowled out for 155.
Their target of 340 in 92 overs is definitely one which England would have gone for. Not easy out there, but putting pressure on the bowlers might have been more effective than allowing them to bowl without pressure all day.3 -
Wanted to share because it made me laugh but didn’t want to start a Big Bash thread to share it…
