England Cricket has unveiled its touring party for the November series against Australia, which comprises three One-Day Internationals and five T20 Internationals. The squad selections mark notable comebacks for key players to the English setup ahead of the southern hemisphere campaign.
Fast bowler Jofra Archer makes his return to the ODI squad, while young batter Jacob Bethel has been recalled to the 50-over format. Wicketkeeper-batter Phil Salt returns to the T20 international side after a period away from the team. The dual captaincy roles have been handed to Harry Brook, who will lead England across both formats during the Australia series.
The squad announcements come as England continues to rebuild its white-ball cricket setup. The inclusions of Archer and Bethel suggest the selectors are looking to strengthen their options heading into the tour, with both players expected to play key roles in the upcoming matches against Australia.
