England have announced their squads for the upcoming white-ball series against Sri Lanka, with uncapped players Aneurin Donald and Henry Crocombe making the cut. Donald, an opener, has been selected for the 16-player squad for the T20 series, while seamer Crocombe has been included in the 16-man team for the one-day internationals. England men's national selector Marcus North described both players as "two promising players who have earned their places on the back of impressive performances in domestic cricket." He highlighted that Donald had an exceptional season with Derbyshire in the Vitality Blast and with Trent Rockets in The Hundred, a domestic T20 competition. Crocombe, meanwhile, has been on the radar of selectors throughout the summer. England all-rounder Jacob Bethell recently underwent successful surgery on his injured knee earlier this week. He is now aiming to make a comeback during the white-ball series against Australia in November. Meanwhile, Durham seamer Brydon Carse has not been included in either of the squads for the Sri Lanka series. Carse, 31, was dropped for the second Test against Pakistan earlier this month following a brief arrest on 22 August after an incident outside a Derby nightclub. His absence from the squads marks a notable decision by the selectors as they prepare for the upcoming matches. The inclusion of Donald and Crocombe reflects England's strategy of integrating emerging talent into their squads. Both players have shown strong performances in domestic cricket, giving them a chance to prove themselves at the international level. This decision also highlights the selectors' focus on identifying players who can contribute across different formats of the game. The white-ball series against Sri Lanka will be an important opportunity for the new inclusions to gain experience and potentially secure a place in future squads. With Bethell working toward a return, England's team composition is expected to evolve as the season progresses. The absence of Carse adds another layer of discussion around player selection and performance in domestic and international settings.
