England T20 squad

England Twenty20 squad: Eoin Morgan (Middlesex, capt), Gary Ballance (Yorkshire), Ravi Bopara (Essex), Danny Briggs (Hampshire), Jos Buttler (Somerset), Jade Dernbach (Surrey), Alex Hales (Nottinghamshire), Michael Lumb (Nottinghamshire), *Kevin Pietersen (Surrey), Boyd Rankin (Warwickshire), Ben Stokes (Durham), James Tredwell (Kent), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire), Luke Wright (Sussex).
*Pietersen will be available for the match on 27 June only.

KP returns... but not much you can say about the rest, other than "TAYPOC" and "FFS". Fair enough to not want to risk the key Ashes players, but this could be one of the worst England sides to be picked in any format. Not sure I'd back this attack to defend 220! Batting at least has a bit of firepower, and will be interesting to have a look at Ballance.

Rankin, Briggs, Dernbach, Woakes for certain. May as well give Lee Daggett a go.

There's no bowling. Literally, no bowling.

Good to see some new(ish) faces, though. Benny boy Stokes and Gary Ballance are potentially exciting cricketers.

Alex Hales has barely middled a ball all season. Cross batted slogger.

Was slightly surprised to see him in given the season he's having. Can't argue with his T20I record though.

I can only assume Chris Jordan has not declared himself 'English' yet? Would have been an ideal opportunity to see what he's got.

They could always ask him to send them pictures of his junk.
