Mason Crane Earns England Recall for Pakistan ODI Tri-Series

Leg-spinner Mason Crane has been included in England's squad for the upcoming one-day international tri-series in Pakistan, marking a potential return to international cricket nearly eight years after his sole Test cap. The 31-year-old's inclusion comes as part of the squad that will also feature Harry Brook, with the team set to travel to Islamabad on October 15th.

This tri-series, which also includes Sri Lanka, serves as crucial preparation for England ahead of the 50-over World Cup next year. The tournament will see a round-robin group stage where each team plays the others twice, culminating in a final on October 31st in Lahore. Crane's selection sees him usurp Rehan Ahmed in the ODI setup, while pace bowler Jofra Archer has been rested for the series.
