Root rested, Moeen back in England limited-overs squads

Joe Root will not play for England again this season after being rested from the one-off T20 and one-day series against Australia.

Eoin Morgan will be England’s captain in both formats.

The 24-yr-previous, England’s main run-scorer within the 3-2 Ashes victory, will miss the one Twenty20 fixture towards Australia and the 5-match one-day worldwide series towards the identical group.

Australia gained the 50-over World Cup earlier this yr.

Veterans James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Ian Bell were all axed as the selection panel opted for youth as they build towards a home World Cup in 2019.

Moeen Ali returns after lacking the matches towards New Zealand and uncapped Essex paceman Reece Topley, 21, has additionally been included.

But there was no place for Yorkshire wicketkeeper batsman Jonny Bairstow even though he revived his global career with a series-clinching 83 not out against New Zealand at Chester-le-Street in June.

“We have made some significant progress in our limited-overs cricket this summer and the next six games allow these players to continue testing themselves against one of the very best sides in the world”, national selector James Whitaker said in a statement on Monday (Tuesday NZ time).

Yorkshire seamer Liam Plunkett has been named in the ODI squad, and is hoping to make up for a little lost time having spent much of the summer as cover for England’s Test bowlers.

He added: “They won the World cup not so long ago – they are the best in the world, so it’s going to be a tough “ask”.

Watch England take on Australia in the Twenty20 worldwide on Monday 31st August from 2.30pm on Sky Sports Ashes.

England has been playing Joe Root as the part-timer spinner lately – who has been effective in their own playing conditions – as he has been working as a partnership breaker.

Moeen was omitted from the one-day matches against New Zealand so that he could play red-ball cricket for Worcestershire ahead of the Ashes.
