England on Tuesday named a 15-member squad for the T20 showpiece. The same squad has been selected for the T20I series against Pakistan, which will commence on May 22 in Headingley.

"Selected players, currently playing in the Indian Premier League, will return in time for the series against Pakistan, which gets underway at Headingley on Wednesday 22 May 2024," the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said in a statement.
