T20 World Cup: Jason Roy out of England squad, Chris Woakes & Mark Wood in

Jason Roy was part of the England team that won the 50-over World Cup in 2019

Opener Jason Roy has been left out of England's squad for the Twenty20 World Cup in Australia but bowlers Mark Wood and Chris Woakes are fit to return.

White-ball captain Jos Buttler will miss the start of the tour of Pakistan, with Moeen Ali deputising as skipper.

England play seven T20s in Pakistan from 20 September before the World Cup starts on 16 October.

England have included five uncapped players in a squad of 19 for the series in Pakistan, while the squad for the World Cup is trimmed to 15, with three travelling reserves.

Buttler's side play three matches against hosts and defending champions Australia before the tournament. England's campaign begins against Afghanistan in Perth on 22 October.

England, the 50-over world champions, were beaten semi-finalists in the last T20 World Cup in 2021 and reached the final in the previous edition in 2016.

This will be their first global white-ball tournament since 2014 without the leadership of Eoin Morgan, the former captain who retired in June.

Roy, 32, has been an integral part of England's white-ball success in recent years, but has endured a poor summer.

Along with his international struggles, he managed only 51 runs in six innings for Oval Invincibles in The Hundred, including three ducks.

Both Wood, 32, and Woakes, 33, last played for England on the Test tour of West Indies in March. They return from elbow and knee surgery respectively and boost an injury hit pace-bowling department that remains without Jofra Archer.

Stokes, who continues to be available for T20s despite retiring from one-day internationals, is rested for the tour of Pakistan, which begins little more than a week after England's final Test against South Africa at The Oval concludes. Jonny Bairstow is also rested for the Pakistan tour but he too will join up with the World Cup squad.

Liam Livingstone is another missing the Pakistan leg as he continues to recover from an ankle injury, while World Cup reserve Tymal Mills (toe) will also go straight to Australia.

Buttler has a calf injury, but is expected to be fit for the latter stages of the Pakistan series. His absence means Moeen, whose family originates from Pakistan, will have the honour of leading England on their first tour of the country in 17 years.

Warwickshire quick bowler Olly Stone, who has played three Tests and four ODIs for England, makes his return to international cricket from a back injury as part of the quintet of uncapped T20 players for the Pakistan tour.

He is joined by Middlesex pacer Tom Helm, Lancashire left-arm fast bowler Luke Wood and batters Jordan Cox and Will Jacks of Kent and Surrey respectively.
