Woakes played a domestic T20 game on Friday and will be a welcome addition to the squad in the absence of key players such as Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer. While Jonny Bairstow will keep in Buttler’s absence, Sam Billings has been brought in as the reserve wicketkeeper. 

“Both of them have come through fine. Wood was bowling yesterday morning. He will be available for selection and Woakes has played so he becomes available again,” England coach Chris Silverwood said.
