George Bailey, Chair of Selectors, remarked, “This is our last ODI series before the Champions Trophy, and the squad balance reflects that.” He highlighted the success of the ODI team in the UK, especially considering the setbacks from illness and injuries.
Bailey added, “This series is another chance to build on that success, keeping an eye on next February’s tour of Pakistan.”
