Luke Wood earns maiden ODI call-up | Jos Buttler back from IPL

Lancashire left-arm seamer Luke Wood has earned a maiden England call-up as they named a 14-man squad for the three-match ODI series against the Netherlands.

Wood is joined by Gloucestershire paceman, and fellow left-armer, David Payne as the only uncapped players included, though Payne was previously called up for the series against Pakistan last summer.

Durham seamer Brydon Carse and big-hitting Lancashire batsman Phil Salt, who both made their ODI debuts in that much-changed England side that whitewashed Pakistan 3-0 a year ago, again earn call-ups.

Jos Buttler returns to the set-up after a stunning spell in the Indian Premier League, in which he finished as the tournament leading scorer - 863 runs at an average of 57.53 and strike rate of 149.05 - and matched Virat Kohli's tournament record of four centuries in a single season.

Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali and David Willey are named in the squad after too being away in the IPL, while Sam Curran is fit enough for a place after missing most of England's winter with a stress fracture of the lower back.

Captain Eoin Morgan will lead the team, along with new head coach Matthew Mott who will oversee his first series in charge since his appointment earlier in May.

Commenting on the squad, Mott said: "I'm very excited to be coaching a strong squad for my first series in charge.

"We have tremendous depth with a blend of youth and experience. We want to continue to play in an expressive style and let our players showcase their skills and firepower.

"Luke Wood deserves his call-up. He has been consistent for Lancashire over the past 12 months and we have been monitoring his progression. If given a chance to play, I'm sure he will make most of his opportunity."
