Uncapped George Garton, David Payne in England's squad for West Indies T20Is

Paul Collingwood and Marcus Trescothick on coaching duties as England name a 16-player squad for the five-match T20I series against West Indies.

The squad features eleven players who participated in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup earlier this year. Two new faces – bowling all-rounder George Garton and left-arm seamer David Payne – have been added to the mix.

Collingwood will take charge as England's stand-in head coach for the five-match series, which is slated to be played in Barbados' Kensington Oval from 22-30 January. While Trescothick has been named as their assistant coach.

The stand-in coach for the series explained the decision behind the selection, citing the preparation for the ICC Men's T20 World 2022 in mind.

"We have selected a strong squad with some serious batting power and a balanced attack as we begin preparations ahead of the T20 World Cup in Australia," said Collingwood who led England to victory in the 2010 edition of the tournament. 

"The World Cup is less than a year away and there will be increased opportunities for the squad in the absence of those players who are with the Ashes squad.

"I have good memories winning a World Cup in Barbados and I’m really looking forward to going back there with this squad to face a very good West Indies who will test all aspects of our skills."

Squad: Eoin Morgan(c), Moeen Ali, Tom Banton, Sam Billings, Liam Dawson, George Garton, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Saqib Mahmood, Tymal Mills, David Payne, Adil Rashid, Jason Roy, Phil Salt, Reece Topley, James Vince.
