> Harry Brook leads both white-ball squads for November's tour of Australia. Archer returns for the ODIs after being rested for the Pakistan tri-series.

England have named Harry Brook to captain both white-ball squads for November's tour of Australia, with Jacob Bethell back from a knee injury and two uncapped players, Eddie Jack and 18-year-old wicketkeeper-batter Thomas Rew, called up for the T20Is. Jos Buttler is missing from both squads after hamstring surgery.

The squads were announced on Tuesday, 13 October 2026, and come before England travel to Pakistan for this month's tri-series, for which Jofra Archer was rested.

## England ODI squad for Australia

Harry Brook (captain), Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Sonny Baker, Tom Banton, Jacob Bethell, Jordan Cox, Henry Crocombe, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Josh Tongue.

## England T20I squad for Australia

Harry Brook (captain), Tom Banton, Jacob Bethell, James Coles, Jordan Cox, Henry Crocombe, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson, Aneurin Donald, Eddie Jack, Will Jacks, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Thomas Rew, Phil Salt, Luke Wood.

## Who is back, who is missing

- **Jacob Bethell** returns in both formats after the knee injury he picked up in England's ODI series win over India in July.
- **Jofra Archer** comes back for the ODIs after being rested for the Pakistan tri-series.
- **Phil Salt** is fit again after the quad injury that kept him out of England's 3-0 T20I sweep of Sri Lanka last month.
- **Jos Buttler** is not in either squad; he has started rehab after surgery on his hamstring and is also out of the Pakistan tri-series ([our report](/news/cricket/jos-buttler-out-for-a-long-spell-after-hamstring-surgery-misses-pakistan-tri)).
- **Saqib Mahmood** misses out with a knee injury.

Archer, Atkinson, Sonny Baker and Tongue will fly home after the three ODIs to manage their workloads before England's Test tour of South Africa in December, Business Recorder reported in its Reuters copy.

## What it means for Pakistan fans

The tour is part of England's build-up to the 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. For Pakistan, the more immediate question is the side England bring to the tri-series this month. With Buttler out and Archer rested, England arrive without two of their biggest white-ball names.
