Middlesex opening batsman Andrew Strauss is the only uncapped player included, while there is an immediate recall for Durham all-rounder Paul Collingwood after his recent injury problems.

There is also a return for Somerset all-rounder Ian Blackwell, a member of England's World Cup and VB Series squads last winter.

Chairman of selectors David Graveney insisted: "Darren Gough still remains a selection option for the second part of the winter in one-day cricket.

"However, as part of our planning for 2007, the selectors needed to look at other options regarding bowling bearing in mind the playing conditions in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

"Andrew Strauss has performed well in both forms of the county game this season and his inclusion will give us another batting option and also maintain the high standards of fielding we are seeking to achieve in one-day cricket."
