@ballsrightareas @ajarrodkimber Thanks! We are plotting our return.

Now or never for Hales (it won't happen).

It's the form of the game where England have real depth, so it should still be a competitive squad.

[Will Macpherson @willis_macp]

Still a lot of white-ball talent in England (ignoring injured players): Crawley, Vince, Jacks, Duckett, Hain, Lawrence, Salt, Overton (x2), Gregory, Parkinson, Mahmood, Crane, Briggs, Ball.

Expect some surprises too!

[Will Macpherson @willis_macp]

ECB say three players and four staff in England ODI squad have tested positive for Covid-19. Rest of squad is a close contact.

Series v Pakistan will go ahead, with an entire new squad - captained by Ben Stokes.
