England rested fast bowler Jofra Archer for the upcoming away ODI tri-series in Pakistan along with Jos Buttler, who misses out due to an injury.

Head coach Brendon McCullum had previously confirmed that Buttler would miss the tour due to a hamstring injury he suffered during the second ODI against Sri Lanka.

Apart from the two senior players, England will miss out on the services of Jacob Bethell but has called back Sam Curran and Adil Rashid. Mason Crane has got his first international call-up in nine years.
