There are seven uncapped players and eight World Cup winners in the 24-man squad England have named to train at the Ageas Bowl ahead of the three-match Royal London ODI series against Ireland this month.

The squad will be coached by Paul Collingwood, who is supported by Marcus Trescothick among others, and will assemble next Thursday in Southampton, where they will play two intra-squad matches before the series.

There are also notable returns for left-arm seamers David Willey, who has not played since before the World Cup, and Reece Topley.

The uncapped players in all formats are fast bowlers Tom Helm, Brydon Carse, Richard Gleeson and Henry Brookes, and batsmen Sam Hain, Laurie Evans and Phil Salt.

Two more, Lewis Gregory and Liam Livingstone, are yet to play an ODI.

Gregory is one of five players to move over from the Test squad. The final ODI is the night before the First Test against Pakistan next month, so the squads will be separate.

Saqib Mahmood is the only player still with the Test squad named, but he will swap “bubbles” before the Second Test at Old Trafford.

There is a strong core of England’s World Cup winning squad, with openers Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy, spinners Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid and of course captain Eoin Morgan included.
