ODI World Cup: England have excluded Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali from its white-ball squads, as the side included five uncapped players for the upcoming men’s T20I series against Australia.

Moeen was a part of the England squad that won the ODI World Cup in 2019 (along with Bairstow) and the T20 World Cup in 2022, but Monday’s omission is a big indication that the side has moved on from two of its biggest mainstays in the white-ball format for more than a decade.

Pace-bowling all-rounder Chris Jordan is another notable omission from England’s white-ball squads, to be captained by Jos Buttler after the wicketkeeper-batter missed The Hundred because of a calf injury.
