England Name Squad for T20 World Cup and West Indies Tour

London: England called up the uncapped Moeen Ali, Stephen Parry and Harry Gurney for this month's one-day tour of West Indies in the first squad to be named in the post-Kevin Pietersen era.

Worcestershire all-rounder Ali, a left-hand batsman and off-spin bowler, and Lancashire's Parry, a left-arm spinner, were also named in a 15-man squad for the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh in March.

Nottinghamshire left-arm fast bowler Gurney was only selected for the Caribbean tour.

Twenty20 captain Stuart Broad will also lead the side for the three-match one-day series in the absence of the rested Alastair Cook.

England will also play three Twenty20 matches against West Indies before heading to Bangladesh.

Parry has played just six first-class matches, but has appeared in 56 Twenty20 games.

England won the 2010 Twenty20 World Cup in the Caribbean.

Pietersen, who had been expected to play in the World Twenty20, was told his England career was over this week.

Squad for West Indies tour: Stuart Broad (captain), Eoin Morgan (vice captain), Moeen Moeen Ali, Ravi Bopara, Tim Bresnan, Jos Buttler, Jade Dernbach, Harry Gurney, Alex Hales, Chris Jordan, Michael Lumb, Stephen Parry, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, James Tredwell, Luke Wright
