England has recently disclosed the names of the players who will represent them in the T20 World Cup 2024, and it’s a mix of seasoned veterans and fresh talents. Jos Buttler will lead the team, backed by experienced players like Moeen Ali, Chris Jordan, and Adil Rashid, all known for their exceptional skills in both batting and bowling.
A notable addition to the squad is the return of the fast bowler Jofra Archer, who has recovered from a long-standing elbow injury, adding depth to England’s bowling lineup.
Among the new faces are promising players such as Harry Brook, Sam Curran, and Mark Wood, bringing in a fresh energy to the team. Tom Hartley, a left-arm spinning all-rounder, is also part of the squad, offering additional spin options.
Rob Key, England’s men’s managing director, has notified the players chosen for the World Cup squad about their selection. Those involved in the IPL have been informed that they won’t be available for the playoffs due to England’s series against Pakistan.
Several players, including Jonny Bairstow, Sam Curran, and Liam Livingstone from Punjab Kings, Will Jacks and Reece Topley from Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Jos Buttler from Rajasthan Royals, Phil Salt from Kolkata Knight Riders, and Moeen Ali from Chennai Super Kings, are part of both England’s World Cup team and the IPL.
Buttler’s desire to prepare for the World Cup during the series against Pakistan played a significant role in the decision-making process. Key emphasized the importance of Buttler’s commitment to the national team.
The same squad will also compete in a four-match T20I series against Pakistan, starting on May 22. Players currently participating in the Indian Premier League will return in time for the series.
