The defending Champions, England named a strong 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 to be played in the USA and West Indies. The main inclusion for England will see the return of Jofra Archer who has recovered from his injury that kept him out of action for a long time. Chris Jordan also makes a comeback into the squad.
England’s batting order looks strong with the likes of Phil Salt, Will Jacks, Jonny Bairstow, and Jos Buttler who can put the pressure with their explosive hitting. Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, and Sam Curran will be a major threat who can put enough pressure on the bowlers.
Tom Hartley has been included in the squad with good performances during the Test series against India.
The pace bowling department looks decent enough with the likes of Reece Topley, Mark Wood, Chris Jordan, and Jofra Archer. Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali would be two genuine spin bowling options along with Hartley.
Liam Livingstone and Will Jacks are two other two spin bowling options that England can look at if their key bowlers go for runs.
