The England Cricket Board (ECB) has announced the England squad for the upcoming ODI and T20I series against the West Indies, which is scheduled to start from May 26. After the team's poor outing in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Harry Brook has been appointed as captain. This will be Brook's first assignment as white-ball captain. England are scheduled to play a three-match ODI series, followed by the same number of T20Is.
Liam Dawson made a comeback in the squad and is set to feature in his first T20I for almost three years, while Tom Hartley has been picked as the frontline left-arm spinner in the 50-over format. Buttler, who led the side in the Champions Trophy 2025, is also a part of both squads as he regained his form featuring for the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. However, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) all-rounder Liam Livingstone, who also stood in as England captain last year while Buttler was recovering from a calf injury, has been dropped from both squads after managing just 33 runs in three innings in the Champions Trophy.
ECB also recalled speedster Brydon Carse to both squads, after he was forced to undergo surgery on an injured toe, sustained during his hard-toiling efforts for the Test team in Pakistan and New Zealand last winter. Matthew Potts who featured in the Test squad for next week's one-off match against Zimbabwe, is also named in both parties.
Jofra Archer has also been named in the ODI squad along with Gus Atkinson, Saqib Mahmood and Jamie Overton. Archer has been omitted from the three-match T20I series, which is scheduled to start from June 6. Luke Wood, the Lancashire left-arm seamer, is instead named for the T20Is, his first return to the set-up since September 2023.

ECB added Will Jacks in both squads in place of Livingstone and Tom Banton, who was a surprise replacement for the injured Jacob Bethell for that tournament, is also named in both.
In-form batter Phil Salt has missed the spot from the ODI squad after his struggles to convert his explosive 20-over batting into the longer format. Joe Root is retained as the senior batter, while Adil Rashid keeps his place as England's premier legspinner, even at the age of 37.
