Ben Stokes will return to England’s ODI squad for the first time in a year when they take on India under new white-ball skipper Jos Buttler later this month.

Stokes, one of the key members of England’s World Cup-winning side in 2019, has not featured in the 50-over team since he stood in as captain for the three-match series against Pakistan last July.

The all-rounder announced he was taking a break from the game following that series, but has since returned to the Test side and was appointed as Joe Root’s successor earlier this summer.
