Broad left out of England One-day squad to face India

Strike bowler Stuart Broad, one of the heroes of England's 3-1 Test series victory against India, was on Monday left out of a 15-man squad for the five one-day internationals between the two teams.

Broad, who played for England at The Oval despite having a broken nose and two black eyes following an injury suffered during the fourth Test match in Manchester, will miss the series to have specialist examination and treatment of a chronic right knee injury.

England squad: Alastair Cook (captain), Moeen Ali, James Anderson, Gary Balance, Ian Bell, Jos Buttler, Steven Finn, Harry Gurney, Alex Hales, Chris Jordan, Eoin Morgan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, James Tredwell, Chris Woakes.

Test captain Alastair Cook, who led England's triumphant recovery after they had trailed 1-0 following defeat in the second Test, was selected to captain the one-day side.

Eleven of the 15 selected players were involved in the Test series.

Batsmen Alex Hales and Eoin Morgan and bowlers Harry Gurney and James Tredwell have also been selected.

Hales appears set to become captain Alastair Cook's new opening partner after being named in the Royal London Series squad to face India.

The 25-year-old, uncapped as yet in one-day internationals has played 32 T20 Internationals for England.

Back-in-favour Steven Finn has also been named in the squad.

Fast bowler James Anderson is included, despite suggestions that he might benefit from a rest after England concluded their sequence of five back-to-back Test matches with a 3-1 Investec Series victory over India on Sunday.

The series begins in Bristol next Monday.
