The 24-year-old missed the preceding one-day series against India which England lost 3-0 last month, but will keep wicket and bat at number three in the match on Saturday. Jofra Archer, Brydon Cars and Mark Wood were named as the team’s seam attack. Former World Cup winners England have never won the Champions Trophy. They are placed in Group B along with Australia, Afghanistan and South Africa.

Pakistan, India, New Zealand and Bangladesh are in Group A. The top two sides from each group will qualify for the semi-finals.
