Brook not selected for ODI series against New ZealandMott: ‘There’s a lot to play out before we pick first XI in India’
Matthew Mott has hinted that Harry Brook could yet be named in England’s 50-over World Cup squad, rowing back on the suggestion that the party named for the forthcoming one-day international series against New Zealand will also be the final 15 submitted to the International Cricket Council on 28 September. “There’s a lot to play out before we pick that first XI in India and we’ve always said it’s a provisional squad,” said England’s white-ball coach. “Everyone will get a really good opportunity to show what they’ve got.”
Mott said those featuring in the four ODIs against the Black Caps, starting on Friday in Cardiff, “have the first crack at it”, but emphasised that the squad is not finalised. “We’ll just monitor and see how players are going and make some fine-tuning if needs be,” he said.
