The England cricket board has recently announced a 13-man squad for the only T20 match against India at Old Trafford on August 31 and a 14-man squad for the ODI series beginning from Spetember 3, on Friday.
In the meantime, the star player of the England team, Kevin Pietersen has been rested, Durham's Ben Stokes has been brought in after he made his debut against Ireland on Thursday. The team for the T20 has two uncapped players in Somerset's Jos Buttler and Nottinghamshire's Alex Hales.
While talking to media, national selector Goeff Miller said, “We're very excited to have included some bright young players in the form of Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler and Alex Hales, all of whom have proved themselves domestically and will now be looking to successfully take the step up to international level.”
Miller also said that the decision to rest Pietersen was after careful consideration. "The decision to omit Kevin Pietersen from the
One-Day squad is in line with our policy of sensibly managing player workloads and will give the opportunity to another batsmen to test himself batting at number four."

Indian cricket needs to boost again, today is their last practice match, and i think they should win that match...
this will increase their moral. There comes the only T20 match, and then five one-day internationals.
This is good for India that Pietersen is not playing in the One day internationals.
he is a perfect player for One day...
