Mason Crane has been recalled to England’s squad for the one-day international tri-series in Pakistan, giving the leg-spinner an opportunity to play for his country for the first time in eight years.
Crane returns to the England set-up for the competition, although the supplied information does not confirm whether he will be selected in the playing side for any of the matches. His recall nevertheless places him in contention for international cricket after his lengthy absence from the team.
Jofra Archer has been rested for the Pakistan series. No further details have been provided about the reason for the decision or how it will affect England’s wider plans for the tri-series.
The competition will therefore provide a potential route back into England’s one-day side for Crane, while Archer will not be involved in the series. Further selection decisions are expected to determine whether Crane features in England’s matches in Pakistan.
