England includes three uncapped players in squads for World T20, Windies tours

England has reportedly called up uncapped cricketers Moeen Ali, Stephen Parry and Harry Gurney for the upcoming ODI tour of West Indies in the first squad to be named after the sacking of controversial batsman Kevin Pietersen and also in a 15-man squad for the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh in March.

Worcestershire all-rounder Ali and Lancashire spinner Parry were named in the World T20 squad while Nottinghamshire left-arm fast bowler Gurney was only selected for the Caribbean tour.

According to Sport24, national selector James Whitaker said in a statement that both Ali and Parry have been very consistent performers for their respective counties, adding that Gurney has performed well for Nottinghamshire in limited overs cricket by showing good control with the white ball which brings some variety to the tour party.

The report mentioned that Parry has played just six first-class matches, but has appeared in 56 T20 games.

Meanwhile, T20 captain Stuart Broad will also lead the side for the three-match one-day series in the absence of the rested Alastair Cook and England will also play three T20 matches against West Indies before heading to Bangladesh.

Squad for West Indies tour:

Broad (captain), Eoin Morgan (vice captain), Ali, Ravi Bopara, Tim Bresnan, Jos Buttler, Jade Dernbach, Gurney, Alex Hales, Chris Jordan, Michael Lumb, Parry, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, James Tredwell, Luke Wright

Squad for Twenty20 World Cup in Bangladesh:

Broad (captain), Morgan (vice captain), Ali, Bopara, Bresnan, Buttler, Dernbach, Hales, Jordan, Lumb, Parry, Root, Stokes, Tredwell, Wright.
