Eoin Morgan and Alex Hales will be recalled for England’s limited-overs tour of India in the New Year, while Ben Duckett is expected to miss out.

Morgan, England’s short-form captain, and opener Hales were absent from their side’s last one-day series in Bangladesh, in October, after refusing to travel over security fears. But they will return for the three one-day and three T20 internationals in India next month.

Duckett, who scored two half-centuries in his debut series in Bangladesh, is likely to be missing when the squads are named this evening. Joe Root, who is set to become a father next month, is expected to be present, with England opting against resting key players.
