Saqib Mahmood has played two Test matches, eight one-day internationals and 14 T20s for England
Lancashire pace bowler Saqib Mahmood has been added to the England squad for the upcoming one-day international series against Australia.
The 27-year-old has not played an ODI since March 2023 after suffering a recurrence of a stress fracture in his back.
Mahmood made his international comeback in the recent T20 series against Australia, taking 2-21 in the opening match at Southampton.
He has taken eight wickets in 14 ODIs at an average of 22.85.
Harry Brook will captain the side after Jos Buttler was ruled out of the five-match series with a calf injury.
The first game takes place at Trent Bridge on Thursday.
