England confirmed the axing of Jason Roy for the upcoming tour of Pakistan and T20 World Cup, but have seen their fast bowling injury crisis eased by the returns of Mark Wood, Chris Woakes and Olly Stone.

England have a busy bank of white-ball cricket coming up. Two days after the Test series against South Africa ends this month, England travel to Pakistan (their first visit for 17 years) for seven T20s, before flying to Australia. There, they play three T20s against Australia, then official World Cup warm-ups before the tournament begins.
