England's entire one-day squad has been forced into isolation by a Covid-19 outbreak ahead of their upcoming series against Pakistan. The returning Ben Stokes has been named captain of a brand new group featuring nine uncapped players - and Telegraph Sport has run the rule over the 18 players who have been selected. Ben Stokes
Has captained England in one Test, last summer against West Indies, but not in an ODI before. Has been called up from Durham’s game against Warwickshire at Edgbaston, where he has been making his red-ball comeback after breaking his left finger in the IPL.
Took three wickets on Monday to prove his match fitness, ahead of his surprise appointment. Such an immensely capable cricketer that Eoin Morgan's absence should not be too badly felt. Jake Ball
Nottinghamshire have so many quality seamers that he has not been playing in their current game, but there is a recall for him, though not another Notts player in Alex Hales, who appears to have blotted his copybook irretrievably. Ball has played 18 ODIs and is highly skilled at moving the new and old ball, without having fulfilled his talent at the age of 30. Danny Briggs
Played seven T20 internationals and one ODI when he bowled little more than left-arm darts. Since moving from Sussex to Warwickshire for this season, and being assured of a place in their first XI for all formats, he has blossomed into a capable all-rounder, if still on the defensive side as a spinner. Pakistan will target him. Brydon Carse
Son of the old South African and Northamptonshire tearaway James Carse, he has grown at the Riverside among Durham’s crop of fast bowlers. Was picked as third seamer for England’s A Test against Australia at Melbourne and did a good support job, although his only wicket for Durham on Monday was Warwickshire’s Pieter Malan adjudged caught down the legside at Edgbaston. Zak Crawley
Not knowing quite how to play in the two-Test series against New Zealand, he has been liberated a little by opening the batting for Kent in the T20 Blast with licence to play his high-class shots. But for this Covid outbreak, an England white-ball call-up might not have come soon, but his strokeplay is such that it would surely have come later in ODIs. Ben Duckett
The pocket battleship of a left-hander was last seen by England supporters five years ago in India trying not to play his shots against their Test spinners. Since then he has moved from Northamptonshire to Nottinghamshire to become a more consistent 26-year-old, and still power-packed. Pakistan cannot assume the ODI series will be a walkover if Duckett gets going.
