Bowler Jafer Chohan Earns Maiden England Call-up for WI Tour

1 month ago 7

Leg-spinner Jafer Chohan has earned his first England call-up for the white-ball tour of West Indies, while Jos Buttler returns as captain.

Chohan has taken 22 wickets in 23 T20 Blast matches for Yorkshire, including 17 in 10 games in 2024, and is the first graduate of the South Asian Cricket Academy to be named in an England squad.

Buttler has been out since August with a calf injury, with Harry Brook and Phil Salt leading the one-day international and T20 sides in his absence against Australia in September.

It will be his first series in charge following a review of England’s set-up after June’s T20 World Cup, which saw head coach Matthew Mott step down.
