All the teams who are qualified for the World Cup 2023 must finalise their 15-player squads before September 28 any replacements after the allotted time will require approval from the ICC. Earlier Australia had announced their Squad for the World Cup.
England Men’s selector Luke Wright has confirmed that our ODI squad for our series with New Zealand is the same group we intend to pick for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023.
England Men’s National Selector, Luke Wright, said:
“This is the squad we are going to put forward.
“It’s incredibly hard on some players that are going to miss out. It shows the strength and depth we have in English Cricket and there are other names who are knocking on the door as well.
“With the balance of the squad, and with only fifteen that you can name it’s incredibly tough.”
“The return of Ben Stokes only adds to that quality with his match-winning ability and leadership. I am certain that every fan will enjoy seeing him back in an England ODI shirt again.

Jos Buttler ( captain), Moeen Ali, Gus Atkinson, Jonny Bairstow, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, Reece Topley, David Willey, Mark Wood, Chris Woakes.
