Rashid and Curran return as England name squad for Pakistan tri-series

Adil Rashid and Sam Curran have been recalled to England's ODI squad after recovering from injury, but Jofra Archer will be rested for the tri-series against Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

England will play Pakistan and Sri Lanka twice each in the tri-series later in October, with Harry Brook leading a 16-player squad that features three uncapped selections.

Spinner Mason Crane is included eight years on from making his last international appearance during the 2017/18 Ashes tour, alongside Sussex duo James Coles and Henry Crocombe.

Rashid featured in a home T20 series against Sri Lanka in September but missed the subsequent ODI matches due to a hand injury, while Curran has recovered following groin surgery in August.

National selector Marcus North explained that Archer has been rested to manage his workload after a busy summer across all formats and The Hundred.

England are also missing former skipper Jos Buttler, who remains sidelined with a hamstring injury suffered against Sri Lanka last month.

Brendon McCullum oversees a rotated coaching staff supported by Jeetan Patel, Mike Yardy, David Saker and Carl Hopkinson, with specialist white-ball mentor Kevin Pietersen set to rejoin in November.
