\n Jofra Archer, the Sussex fast bowler, is in the provisional T20 World Cup squad but will skip the Sri Lanka tour as he continues rehabilitation after sustaining a left side strain during the third Ashes Test in Adelaide earlier this month.\n<\/p>\n
\n Brydon Carse, Durham’s seamer, is included in the squads touring Sri Lanka, as is Surrey’s batting all-rounder Will Jacks, who returns after missing the October New Zealand white-ball tour.\n<\/p>\n
\n Kent\u2019s top-order batter Zak Crawley rejoins the ODI squad for the first time since December 2023, aiming to add to his eight format caps.\n<\/p>\n
