England National Cricket Team have announced the 16-member squad for the T20 Internationals series against West Indies National Cricket Team which will begin from January 2022.

Eoin Morgan will be leading the English team in the T20 Internationals series against West Indies next month, Marcus Trescothick will be the assistant coach and Paul Collingwood will be stand-in head coach for the five-match series. The series is all set to begin from January 22 to January 30 and all the games will be played at the same venue; Kensington Oval, Barbados.

All the notable names have been included in England’s squad for the West Indies series. In total 11 players who were part of England’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 squad have been included. Also, uncapped players George Garton and David Payne have been added to the squad.

Notably, the Eoin Morgan-led side performed really well in the Super 12 stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 which was held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in November. However, they were knocked out of the tournament after losing the semi-final against Kane Williamson-led New Zealand.

Collingwood who will be the stand-in head coach in the T20I series against West Indies has said that the selectors have selected a balanced squad and he is looking forward to facing a strong West Indies in the series.

“We have selected a strong squad with some serious batting power and a balanced attack as we begin preparations ahead of the T20 World Cup in Australia. The World Cup is less than a year away and there will be increased opportunities for the squad in the absence of those players who are with the Ashes squad.

“I have good memories winning a World Cup in Barbados and I’m really looking forward to going back there with this squad to face a very good West Indies who will test all aspects of our skills,” he said.
