Warwickshire fast bowler Olly Stone has received his first England call-up for next month's one-day international series in Sri Lanka.

The 24-year-old replaces Liam Plunkett, who will miss the first three ODIs for his wedding before returning for games four and five.

Capable of bowling upwards of 90mph, Stone is one of the quickest bowlers on the county circuit and has taken 34 wickets at just 11.61 in the County Championship this season and showed his white-ball credentials with 12 wickets at 28.16 in the Royal London One-Day Cup.

England also recalled Sam Curran after the all-rounder's impressive form in the Test series victory over India.

Curran was named England's Player of the Series after averaging 38.85 with the bat and taking 11 wickets in four Tests, playing a dynamic part in the 4-1 series success.

The 20-year-old was overlooked for the preceding ODI series against India having made his debut in the fifth and final match of England's 5-0 whitewash of Australia, in June.

Left-armer Curran slots into the squad in place of David Willey, whose domestic campaign with Yorkshire came to an early end due to a back injury.

Ben Stokes and Alex Hales are both included in the squad despite having been charged with bringing the game into disrepute.

The pair will attend a Cricket Disciplinary Commission hearing scheduled for December 5-7, falling in between the Sri Lanka and West Indies tours.

England, ranked top of the ICC Team Rankings after this summer's series wins over Australia and India, will play five ODIs against eighth-ranked Sri Lanka as well as one T20.

The teams will then contest three Tests in November, with England due to announce their squad for that part of the tour early next week.

 

England ODI squad: Eoin Morgan, Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Tom Curran, Liam Dawson, Alex Hales, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, Olly Stone, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood
