Eoin Morgan (c), Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Tom Curran, Joe Denly, Alex Hales, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood.

The governing body also named a provisional 17-man squad for Pakistan series. The two additional names are the fast bowling sensation Jofra Archer and Chris Jordan. The chances are still alive for Archer, who was born in Barbados, but holds a British passport and qualifies to play for England at the international stage.
