England Squads for Sri Lanka T20Is, ODIs — Donald, Crocombe Receive Maiden Call-Ups; Overton Returns

Aneurin Donald and Henry Crocombe earn maiden senior call-ups as England name two 16-player squads, with Jamie Overton returning after injury.

  • On Friday, England announced 16-member squads led by captain Harry Brook for the upcoming white-ball series against Sri Lanka, featuring both T20I and ODI lineups.
  • England men's national selector Marcus North included uncapped players Aneurin Donald and Henry Crocombe, calling them "two promising players who have earned their places on the back of impressive performances in domestic cricket."
  • All-Rounder Jamie Overton returns to both squads after missing India's series earlier this year, while Donald impressed with 38 off 19 for Trent Rockets in The Hundred final last month.
  • Regulars Phil Salt, Jacob Bethell, and Sam Curran will miss the series due to injuries; Salt faces a quadriceps issue while Bethell recovers from knee surgery.
  • The series begins with T20Is in Southampton, Cardiff, and Manchester starting September 15, followed by ODIs in Chester-le-Street, Leeds, and The Oval, concluding September 27.
