Prior to the announcement a few spots were in question, Archer or no Archer, David Willey or Tom Curran and if there would be room for Liam Plunkett who has not been in his best form
Chris Jordan has also been included in these squads which leaves the door open to these two players to be included in the final 15-man squad if they perform well.
