The biggest development coming from the squad announcement has been the snub of the star all-rounder Liam Livingstone from both the ODI and T20I squads.
The stocks of the all-rounder Liam Livingstone have significantly gone down over the last few months, and even though he bounced back with good performances to reclaim his place, he has once again been axed.
He led an inexperienced England side in the Caribbean and slammed his first ODI century (124* off 85 balls) in the second match, helping England level the series. Howver, he has once again been dropped from both squads.
Will Jacks has been selected for both the T20I and ODI series against the Men In Maroon on his return to the squad, and along with him, Tom Banton and Matthew Potts are also in both squads.
IPL stars feature in the England squad
Those five players are Gujarat Titans' Jos Buttler, Royal Challengers Bengaluru's Jacob Bethell, Rajasthan Royals' Jofra Archer, Mumbai Indians' Will Jacks, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru's Phil Salt.
The ODIs will clash with the Indian Premier League (IPL), which has been extended till June 3 due to the one-week suspension. This puts doubts over the availability of certain English players for the marquee T20 league, but the ECB is open to supporting BCCI and will give NOCs to players who want to participate in the IPL.
