England v http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 2011 - Poms announce separate squads ODIs and T20, Geoff Miller hopeful
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced its squads for the one-off Twenty20 international and five One Day Internationals (ODI), against Sri Lanka starting on Saturday, June 25, 2011 at Bristol.
The left-arm spinner from Leicester, Samit Patel, has been recalled into the squad. The ECB selector, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Geoffrey-Miller-c58870 said that Patel’s progress in the positive direction has earned him a spot in the national side.
Miller said:
"Samit Patel has taken significant steps in the right direction and he has more hard work ahead in order to make further progress.Samit is one of a number of players…who comes back into the limited-overs set up on the back of some
excellent form and plenty of hard work”.
Wicketkeeper batsman, Craig Kieswetter, has also been recalled into the squad. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World Cup 2011 earlier this year, made way for Kieswetter’s return.
Miller also praised Kieswetter and hoped the inclusion of wicketkeeper batsman will strengthen the batting line-up as well.
“Craig has been in exciting form for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Somerset-c843 so far this year and while Matt Prior has been outstanding in the Test team we believe Craig will offer some real fire power with the bat along with his ability with the gloves”, said Miller.
Other players, who have been recalled, or, retained in the squad, include Jade Dernbach, Chris Woakes, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ST-Finn-c2566. James Anderson has also been recalled in the one-day side after being dropped during the World Cup
in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/March-c74391 this year. The pacer, however, is not part of the Twenty20 squad.
The Twenty20 squad will be led by fast bowler, Stuart Broad while the one-day side would see opening batsman, Alastair Cook as its captain.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 will be defending the title.
One-day squad: http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ian-Jonathan-Leonard-Trott-c63890, Chris
Woakes.
