England announced the ODI and T20I squads for the series against West Indies with Will Jacks returning to the limited-overs set-up, having last played in a white-ball series against the Caribbean team in November 2024.

Matthew Potts has also been included in both squads he played an ODI against Australia in September 2024 while his previous T20I outing was against New Zealand in December 2024.

In Harry Brook's first captaincy assignment, England also welcomed Tom Hartley back into the ODI squad after the spinner last played for them in September 2023. Meanwhile, Liam Dawson and Luke Wood, who last played T20Is for England in September 2022 and September 2023, are back in the T20I squad.

Brydon Carse is also part of both squads, having exited the Champions Trophy early due to a toe injury. Rehan Ahmed, who was Carse's replacement for the multi-team tournament, does not find a spot in the ODI squad but has been included for the T20Is.
