Analysis
The inclusion of Jordan, who has been in excellent form for Surrey in the Vitality Blast, is a surprise, but his experience and ability to bowl at the death make him a valuable addition to the squad.
Woakes, who was part of the squad that won the 2022 World Cup, has been struggling with form and fitness in recent months, and his omission is not a major shock.
The rest of the squad is largely unchanged from the one that won the World Cup in Australia last year, with all of the key players retained.
Conclusion
England will be confident of retaining their T20 World Cup title in 2024, with a squad that is full of experience and quality.
Jordan’s inclusion is a sign that the selectors are looking to add some extra firepower to the bowling attack, and he could be a key figure in England’s success.
