England name unchanged squad for Pak ODI series

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has named an unchanged 16-member ODI squad — currently playing against Sri Lanka — for the three-match 50-over series against Pakistan beginning in Cardiff on July 8.

Somerset wicketkeeper-batsman Tom Banton, who joined the group for the third ODI against Sri Lanka to be played in Bristol later on Sunday, has been retained in the squad led by Eoin Morgan.

England will name their squad for the Vitality IT20 series against Pakistan later this month,” ECB said in a statement on Saturday.

Ahead of the crucial ODI series against Pakistan, England’s stand-in coach Graham Thorpe was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo that, ‘Potentially the Pakistan series could push us further. We’ve been pleased with our own performances. We didn’t want any complacency to creep in. And because of the competition we have, the players want to put in good performances.’
