48 centuries, more than 19 thousand runs, still the selectors dropped him, many players' hearts were broken with the announcement of the team

The England team is currently playing a three-match Test series against Sri Lanka at home. They are currently leading 1-0 in this series. After this, England has to face Australia. 3 T20 and 5 ODI matches will be played between the two teams, which will start from September 11. The England team has been announced for both these series. The selectors have made many surprising decisions to select the team. Many veteran players have been dropped from the team.

England has dropped Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali, and Chris Jordan from their whiteball team for the upcoming series against Australia. All three were part of the setup in the recent T20 World Cup, where England lost to India in the semi-finals. In such a situation, 5 new players have now entered the T20 team. These 5 players are Jordan Cox, Jacob Bethell, Dan Mousley, Josh Hull, and John Turner, who have become part of the England team for the first time.

England's star batsman Joe Root has not been included in the ODI team this time too. Let us tell you, Joe Root was part of the team during 2023. After this, England has played only 1 ODI series. This ODI series was played against West Indies after the 2023 ODI World Cup. It was believed that Joe Root had been given rest. But this time his name is not on the team, so he has also been dropped from the ODI team. However, he is currently performing very well in the Test format. Joe Root has scored 19546 runs in 347 matches in international cricket so far. During this, 48 centuries have come from his bat. Out of these, he has scored 6522 runs in ODIs, including 16 centuries.

On the other hand, England's regular white-ball captain Jos Buttler, and premier pacer Jofra Archer will also be back in action. Buttler was recovering from his injury, due to which he was out of the field for some time. At the same time, Archer is set to play his first ODI since March 2023. Josh Hull has recently been included in the Test team and he has now managed to make his place in the white ball team as well.
