Vince & Dawson Named In England's World Cup Squad

Hampshire's James Vince and Liam Dawson have both been named as part of England's 15-man squad for the ICC Cricket World Cup, beginning next week.

Vince, who was originally selected for the Ireland ODI and limited-overs series against Pakistan, has now also been selected for the upcoming World Cup.

Dawson returns to the England set-up for the first time since sustaining a side strain during October’s limited-overs tour of Sri Lanka. The 29-year-old left-arm spin-bowling all-rounder has been in fine form for his county, claiming 18 wickets and averaging 45 with the bat during Hampshire’s run to the Royal London One-Day Cup final.

From the preliminary squad that was announced last month, Kent’s Joe Denly and Yorkshire’s David Willey miss out on selection.

The squad will report to the The Ageas Bowl, Southampton on Friday ahead of the warm-up fixture against Australia on Saturday.

England CWC19 Squad:

Eoin Morgan, Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Tom Curran, Liam Dawson, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, James Vince, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood.
