In that he has questions to answer?

Yeah Wood could make fortunes as a mercenary on the t20 circuit, tie him down IMO.

These multi year contracts are smart from the England board. Lot of these guys like Butler and Wood would make big money going around the franchise cricket circuit
England need to tie Wood down to away tests in SA, WI and Australia. The three tests against Australia last Summer were his first decent home series.

Uncapped Pope, Turner and Tongue in England white-ball squads for Caribbean tour
Buttler retained as captain in both formats and among six players from the World Cup to be picked in the ODI squad

pope over hain for the ODIs is one of the dumbest decisions England have made in a long time.

Malan being left out seems bizarre.

Not really, he'll be 40 at the next World Cup.

T20 world cup soon and he has a central contract.

Pick him in T20s then.
England don't play enough ODIs to waste games on players who won't play another WC.

That's the weird thing, they haven't picked him for those either.

Oh I didn't even realise a T20 squad for anything had been named, fair enough.

Jimmy Anderson's 41, shouldn't be a barrier for entry these days. If you still put up the numbers, you still deserve to be picked. Malan has been our best LO bat over the last four years, pretty indisputably, and was our highest runscorer at the WC.
Just feels like an excuse to move on someone who has never been a selectors' favourite despite doing nothing wrong. Seems v harsh to me.

Obviously there are a couple of quibbles but I do like those squads. A few players in there I’m excited about.
Looking forwards to it, feels good to have a swift refresh and put the shambles behind us.
Just trying to work out the potential batting line-up. Five of Salt, Jacks and the four Test bats I would guess with Buttler at 6.

Don't know why Livingstone is in the ODI squad. Arguably the worst player of all in the world cup and provides nothing.
Crawley to open and Brook 4 with Buttler 6 should be what we do and can argue about the rest. Probably change things and open with Buttler knowing our lot.

Well, against Ireland, Salt and Jacks opened with Crawley at 3 so wouldn’t be surprised to see something similar. Or it could be Salt and Jacks vying for one spot with Crawley alongside them. If so I guess Jacks gets the nod for his bowling, even though as I have previously stated definitively, Salt >>> Jacks

If Buttler is gonna bat 6 then someone in the top five needs to be able to roll the arm over (and Brooks doesn't count). Jacks probably has to play given that.
Be interesting to see who bats 5. I don't think anyone in the squad is particularly suited to it.

Yeah it feels a bit top order heavy. I suppose Brook is an option but you want him higher up really.
A bit annoying we won’t play an ODI for nine months after this
