Brydon Carse included in England white ball squads to tour Sri Lanka

Durham seamer Brydon Carse has been included in England’s white ball squads to tour Sri Lanka during early 2026. 

The England Men’s selection panel has named the squads for next month’s white-ball tour of Sri Lanka, which includes three One-Day Internationals (ODIs), three IT20s, and a provisional squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, hosted jointly by India and Sri Lanka in February and March.

Nottinghamshire seamer Josh Tongue has been selected in the IT20 squad for the first time.

Sussex fast bowler Jofra Archer is included in the provisional T20 World Cup squad, but will miss the tour of Sri Lanka as he continues his rehabilitation with the England medical team following the left side strain sustained during the third Ashes Test in Adelaide earlier this month. Durham seamer Brydon Carse is included in the squads touring Sri Lanka.

Surrey batting all-rounder Will Jacks returns to both squads, having missed the New Zealand white-ball tour in October.

Kent top-order batter Zak Crawley returns to the ODI squad for the first time since December 2023 and will be looking to add to his eight caps in the format.

The tour party departs on 18 January 2026.
