3 players and 4 backroom squad tested positive and the whole England squad now self isolating.

Stokes to captain a completely different side against Pakistan in the ODI now. Be interesting to see who gets a hit

So why do the whole team have to isolate where as in football it’s just one person and others ?‍♂️

Reckon one Somerset player may get in ?

2 on all accounts Gregory and Overton

Rumoured still no place for Alex Hales though, as Mrs Morgan still doesnt want him anywhere near the squad even though none of the squad will be there lol
 
England squad for Pakistan ODIs: Ben Stokes (captain), Jake Ball, Danny Briggs, Brydon Carse, Zak Crawley,
Ben Duckett, Lewis Gregory, Tom Helm, Will Jacks, Dan Lawrence, Saqib Mahmood, Dawid Malan, Craig Overton,
Matt Parkinson, David Payne, Phil Salt, John Simpson, James Vince

Shame Banton will miss out - called into the squad for the last ODI

Hales will clearly never play again - don’t understand it , yep he has messed up in the past but he isn’t Pietersen
 
Good comment on the BBC cricket site - The only way England will get decent opposition is to play against themselves! Plenty of players look good enough at the moment :)
 
Never seen a scorecard like the Zimbabwe one versus Bangladesh. They need nearly 500 to win, or bat a day and a half to survive for a draw.

Kaitano batting for the draw has 2 off 70 balls whilst Taylor batting for the win has 90 off 70 balls!!!!!
 
Utterly amazed England playing the same side for all 3 ODIS, basically a massive 2 fingers to a handful of players and their counties who released them mid game to bail England out
 
Vince showing the selectors he's not done yet. Test recall anyone ?????

Also, Ireland handing one out to SA today. Fair play to them.
 
so thats what it looks like when Vince gets past 30 :)

Gregory played superb here too, several "fringe" players put their hand up this series

really disappointed they didnt give others a game at 2-0 up though

The three games will have put a few into the frame -Vince will prob get another chance now , they love Sam Curran but IMO Gregory is a better player than him but I suspect it will prob just be Mahmood and Vince who will be given further chances
