Harry Brook will embark on his first assignment as England's full-time white-ball captain later this month, as he leads the side in a six-match home series against West Indies, beginning with the first ODI at Edgbaston on May 29.

Brook, who takes the reins from Jos Buttler, will oversee both the three-match ODI and T20I series, with England aiming to reset after their dismal Champions Trophy campaign in Pakistan, where they failed to win a single group-stage match. The Yorkshire batter will have the experienced Buttler beside him in both squads, fresh off a strong IPL showing with Gujarat Titans.

The squad announcement sees some significant changes, headlined by the return of Liam Dawson, who is poised to play his first T20 International since 2022. The 35-year-old all-rounder has impressed across global leagues and was recently named a Wisden Cricketer of the Year for his domestic excellence with Hampshire.

Meanwhile, Tom Hartley has been picked as the frontline left-arm spinner in the ODI setup, cementing his rise in the 50-over format. Also returning is fast bowler Brydon Carse, who missed recent action due to toe surgery, and Matthew Potts, who features in both squads alongside his Test duties.

Jofra Archer headlines the ODI pace attack, joined by Gus Atkinson, Saqib Mahmood, and Jamie Overton. Archer, however, is not part of the T20I squad and may instead play for the England Lions in a red-ball fixture against India, signaling a possible return to Test cricket later this summer. In his T20 absence, Luke Wood is recalled to bolster the pace ranks.

The selectors have made notable exclusions as well. Liam Livingstone has been dropped from both squads after a poor showing in the Champions Trophy, managing just 33 runs in three innings. Phil Salt, meanwhile, has been cut from the ODI setup, with selectors unconvinced by his 50-over consistency.

Will Jacks, who was surprisingly left out of the Champions Trophy campaign, returns in both formats and stands to benefit from Livingstone’s omission. Tom Banton and Jacob Bethell, both relatively fresh faces in England's setup, are retained in both squads after showing promise.

Despite his age, Adil Rashid remains a key figure as England's lead spinner, with Rehan Ahmed included in the T20Is as his likely successor. The ODI squad, otherwise, leans toward continuity, with Joe Root still anchoring the middle order.

Meanwhile, the revised IPL calendar—delayed due to last week’s border tensions between India and Pakistan—has pushed the final back to June 3, potentially clashing with England’s ODIs. As a result, Buttler (Gujarat Titans), Bethell (RCB), and Jacks (Mumbai Indians) could miss the first two ODIs, depending on their teams' playoff fortunes.
