England Team for ICC World Cup 2023: Jason Roy Dropped, Harry Brook Picked in Final Squad

ICC World Cup 2023 England Team and Players: Cricket is a beloved sport in many parts of the world. It originated in England, and the country won its first World Cup title in 2019. As defending champions, all eyes will be on England in the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup, the biggest and most prestigious cricket tournament on the planet. 

It’s held every four years and will be hosted by India this year, from October 5 to November 19. Just a month is left, and the final date for submitting the squads is nearing (Sept. 28). India recently revealed its official World Cup squad, but many teams are yet to. Australia and England have also announced their full squads and final 15 list of players.

England will play against New Zealand, the 2019 World Cup runner ups in the first game on October 5 in Ahmedabad.

The Wales and England Cricket Board (ECB) announced the provisional England World Cup squad in August, which will be finalized on September 17. It wasn't expected to differ much but the final 15-player list of England revealed a shocking surprise.

ICC World Cup England Team Squad 2023

England are the favourites to lift the World Cup trophy this year, having shown their dominance in the previous season and consistently performing well since then. However, some players like Eoin Morgan, who captained the team in 2019 and retired in 2022, will be missed by fans. 

Opener Jos Buttler will lead the English squad at the World Cup. There were some surprising omissions from the provisional squad like Jofra Archer and Harry Brook. But nothing was finalized yet. However, in the final 15-player list, Brook was picked and Jason Roy was dropped in a surprise decision.

33-year-old Roy is among the best active batsmen in the world and hasn't shown any signs of poor form lately. He was absent from the New Zealand series due to injury. Roy is also highly experienced and was part of the England squad that won the 2019 World Cup.

Harry Brook, on the other hand, is a 24-year-old all-rounder who is quite proficient with both the bat and the ball. He was part of the England team that won the 2022 T20 World Cup.

Here is the full 15-player official World Cup squad for England.

• Jos Buttler (captain)
• Moeen Ali
• Gus Atkinson
• Jonny Bairstow
• Sam Curran
• Liam Livingstone
• Dawid Malan
• Adil Rashid
• Joe Root
• Harry Brook
