Defending champions England have recently announced their provisional squad for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, and it boasts some exciting inclusions. The biggest news is the return of pace bowler Jofra Archer, who will be making his comeback after a lengthy absence due to injury. Archer’s raw pace and wicket-taking ability will be a huge boost to the English attack.
Another notable change sees Chris Jordan replacing Chris Woakes in the squad. Jordan’s experience and death bowling skills offer a different dimension compared to Woakes’ all-round package. Moreover, Tom Hartley, who made his international debut against India in the Test series earlier this year, has also earned his maiden T20I callup. The left-arm spinner has an experience of playing over 80 T20 matches so far.

Notably, there are no reserve players named by ECB in their preliminary squad.
