Reuters - Ben Stokes has been named in England’s 14-man squad for the three one-day internationals (ODIs) against India next month, with the all-rounder on the mend from a hamstring injury.

The 27-year-old, who sustained the injury before the second test against Pakistan this month, is expected to return to the field in a domestic Twenty20 match for the Durham Jets on 5 July , a week before the ODI series begins.

If Stokes is deemed fully fit for Durham, he could also play in the third international Twenty20 against India on 8 July.

England are seeking to continue a winning run that saw them to an ODI series whitewash of Australia this month.

Batsman Sam Billings, who has failed to impress for England in his past two call-ups, has been left out of the squad.

All-rounder Sam Curran, who made his ODI debut against Australia last week, has also failed to make the cut.

Fellow all-rounder Chris Woakes is still recovering from a thigh muscle tear and persistent knee injury but could return for the latter part of the India series.

Team: Eoin Morgan (captain), Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Jake Ball, Jos Buttler, Tom Curran, Alex Hales, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, David Willey, Mark Wood.
