England Bolsters Squad for Caribbean Tour, Adding Jordan Cox and Rehan Ahmed
Exciting news for cricket fans as England strengthens its white-ball lineup for the upcoming Caribbean tour, scheduled to kick off in just a few days. Jordan Cox and Rehan Ahmed, currently playing in Pakistan with England’s Test team, are set to join the squad for the Caribbean series. While Cox will be flying home briefly before joining the team in Antigua on October 28, Rehan will join after his participation in the third Test in Pakistan, missing the first One Day International (ODI) but expected to make a significant impact later in the series.

Cox, who recently made his international debut in the T20I series against Australia, is likely to earn his first ODI cap in the Caribbean. With captain Jos Buttler sidelined due to a calf injury, Cox steps in as the primary wicketkeeper for England, not only for the Caribbean matches but also as a likely replacement in the upcoming New Zealand series, as Jamie Smith takes paternity leave. Cox’s growing reputation as a reliable wicketkeeper-batter makes him a crucial addition to the squad, especially as England seeks to maintain momentum in the World Test Championship.
Rehan Ahmed, another exciting young talent, has made waves with his impressive spin bowling and knack for delivering effective googlies. He joins a solid spin attack alongside Adil Rashid and the uncapped Jafer Chohan, giving England more depth and variety in the spin department. Liam Livingstone, stepping in as ODI captain, will lead this diverse and promising lineup, blending experienced players with emerging talents like Ahmed and Cox. England's new captain Livingstone brings an aggressive play style and strategic leadership, which will be crucial against a resilient West Indies side.
England’s ODI squad for this tour showcases a mix of experienced players and younger stars. Alongside Cox and Ahmed, the roster includes Jofra Archer, Sam Curran, Phil Salt, and Reece Topley, among others, with the T20 series set to follow the ODI matches. With the Caribbean series just around the corner, fans can look forward to thrilling performances as England’s newcomers strive to leave their mark on the international stage.
