England announce Cricket World Cup squad

England have announced their 15-man squad for the upcoming Cricket World Cup which kicks off on home soil on 30th May.

David Willey and Joe Denly are the two players to miss out on the squad from the recent series with Pakistan.

They’ve been replaced by the recently eligible Jofra Archer and Hampshire all-rounder Liam Dawson.

Archer’s express pace has been preferred to the left-arm swing of Willey with Dawson’s spin viewed as more of a reliable option than that of Denly.

England, led by captain Eoin Morgan, are favourites for the tournament as the number one ranked ODI side in the world.

The Three Lions will be confident of securing their first ever World Cup after their recent 4-0 series victory over Pakistan and continue their preparation with matches against Australia on Saturday and Afghanistan on Monday.

Squad in full:

Eoin Morgan (captain, Middlesex), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Jofra Archer (Sussex), Jonny Bairstow (wk, Yorkshire), Jos Buttler (wk, Lancashire), Tom Curran (Surrey), Liam Dawson (Hampshire), Liam Plunkett (Surrey), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Jason Roy (Surrey), Ben Stokes (Durham), James Vince (Hampshire), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire), Mark Wood (Durham).
