Tredwell included in England squad for Caribbean tour and ICC World Twenty20
Thursday 6th February 2014
Kent spinner, James Tredwell has been included in the England squad to tour the Caribbean, and for the ICC World Twenty20 to be played in Bangladesh.
Worcestershire's Moeen Ali and Lancashire's Stephen Parry have also been included in the England squad, and arethe only uncapped players in the ICC World Twenty20 squad. Nottinghamshire's left arm fast bowler Harry Gurney is selected for his first full England squad for the Caribbean matches.
National Selector James Whitaker said: “England have won the ICC World Twenty20 before – in 2010 in the Caribbean – and this group has an exciting mix of youth and Twenty20 experience and I am sure with good preparation, desire and determination they will be able to produce an exciting brand of cricket.”
Stuart Broad will captain the squad in both the One Day Internationals in the Caribbean – in the absence of the rested Alastair Cook – as well as the Twenty20s and in the ICC World Twenty20. Eoin Morgan will be vice-captain for both tours.
James Whitaker paid tribute to the value that Morgan brings to the squad. He said: 'Eoin has recognised leadership qualities and he has successfully led England sides in the past. This status of vice-captain is a reward for him. We believe that he and Stuart will form an excellent leadership team.
