England on Tuesday named their T20 World Cup 2024 squad with pacer Jofra Archer marking his return to international cricket for the first time in a year.
Archer was recovering from an elbow injury that sidelined him for nearly 12 months.
The Jos Buttler-led unit are the defending T20 World Cup champions.
Left-arm spinning all-rounder Tom Hartley is the sole uncapped player in the squad.

All teams have until May 25 to make changes to their squad, after which any alteration will require approval from ICC's Event Technical Committee.
England will depart for the Caribbean on May 31 with their first match against Scotland in Barbados on June 4. They are slotted in Group B alongside Australia, Namibia, Scotland and Oman.
