WARWICKSHIRE CCC all-rounder Jacob Bethell features in a 17-player England squad for a T20 series against India.
Bethell has earned 31 England caps in the T20 format and became his country’s youngest men’s captain in international cricket on a tour of Ireland last year.
The five-match series begins on Wednesday, July 1 at Chester-le-Street with play to begin at 5.30pm.
Uncapped all-rounder James Coles features in the squad for the first time while Saqib Mahmood, Jordan Cox and Sonny Baker all earn recalls to the T20 side.
All three recalled players did not play a part in England’s 2026 T20 World Cup campaign.
Brydon Carse and Jamie Overton are unavailable due to injury.
England men’s national selector, Marcus North, said: “James Coles is an exciting addition and has earned his place following his performances with the England Lions and in T20 competitions here and abroad during the past 12 months.
“We have selected a larger squad to accommodate for the fact that this series will begin shortly after the Test series against New Zealand is due to conclude which allows us to be flexible.”
Yorkshire’s Harry Brook captains the squad which also includes Jofra Archer, Jos Buttler and Adil Rashid.
