Dawson Named In England ODI Squad

The Hampshire all-rounder has been named in England's 50-over squad to face West Indies in March

Hampshire's Liam Dawson has been named in England’s One-Day International squad for the upcoming three match limited-overs series' against West Indies.

The all-rounder is part of a 14-man squad, led by skipper Eoin Morgan, with matches due to begin in the Caribbean in March. The squad remains unchanged from the side that finished the recent ODI series in India. 

Morgan's men will contest two warm-up 50-over fixtures before taking on the hosts in three ODIs, with the series-opener set to begin on Friday 3rd March in Antigua.

There is a huge emphasis on white-ball cricket during the first half of 2017, as we continue our preparation ahead of this summer’s ICC Champions Trophy tournament in England.

We felt it was important to keep faith with the squad that competed during the recent tour of India. The current group of players are making excellent progress under the captaincy of Eoin Morgan and head coach Trevor Bayliss and the tour of the Caribbean will enable the team to test themselves in different conditions against a competitive side in the West Indies.
