David Payne Called Up to England ODI Squad
6 July 2021
David Payne has been called up to the England ODI squad for the first time following the announcement that seven members of the England Men's ODI party have tested positive for COVID-19.
England Men have named an 18-strong group for the Royal London Series against Pakistan.
The announcement comes after the news that three members of the initial playing group and four members of the management staff had tested positive for COVID-19, and consequently the entire squad initially selected was required to isolate.
Ben Stokes will return to the squad to captain the side and Chris Silverwood, who had been due to take some time away during the white-ball series, is back as Head Coach. In total, there are nine uncapped players in the squad.
Ben Stokes (Durham, captain)
Jake Ball (Nottinghamshire)
