LEG-SPINNER Jafer Chohan has earned his first England call-up for the white-ball tour of the West Indies, while Jos Buttler returns as captain.
Chohan, 22, has taken 22 wickets in 23 T20 Blast matches for Yorkshire, including 17 in 10 games in 2024, and is the first graduate of the South Asian Cricket Academy (SACA) to be named in an England squad.

Buttler has been out since August with a calf injury, with Harry Brook and Phil Salt leading the one-day international and T20 sides in his absence against Australia in September.
It will be his first series in charge following a review of England’s set-up after June’s T20 World Cup, which saw head coach Matthew Mott step down.
The first of three ODIs against the West Indies takes place on 31 October in Antigua, and is followed by five T20s.

The same squad has been named for both series, with Hampshire fast bowler John Turner and Warwickshire all-rounder Dan Mousley the other uncapped players alongside Chohan.
A further two players, who are yet to be named, will join the tour from the England Test squad, who finish their tour of Pakistan on 28 October.

England drew the T20 series against Australia but lost the ODI series 3-2, as they continue to rebuild after the departure of Mott, the retirement of all-rounder Moeen Ali and the absence of experienced players including Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Mark Wood.

Marcus Trescothick will be head coach with Brendon McCullum taking over in January, 2025.
