Yorkshire’s Jafer Chohan has received his first international call-up for England, with the leg-spinner a surprise inclusion on the white-ball tour of the Caribbean in October and November.

Chohan’s selection is another note of success for the South Asian Cricket Academy (SACA): he is the programme’s first player to be named in an England squad. Warwickshire’s Dan Mousley and Hampshire’s John Turner are the other uncapped players in the 14-man group named for three one-day internationals and five T20s against West Indies.

Jos Buttler returns as captain having missed the recent series against Australia with a calf injury, but the squad currently features no players named in the Test squad to face Pakistan this month.
