England are looking to revamp their white ball side after underwhelming performances in T20 World Cup 2024 and ODI World Cup 2023. In the ODI World Cup England were knocked out in the group stages and in the T20 World Cup they scrambled their way into the semi-finals but were completely dismantled by India with a hammering 68 run defeat. 

However, under the leadership of Jos Buttler, England are looking to revive their white ball side and have selected 5 uncapped players in the upcoming T20I series against Australia.
