England retain squad for rest of the Natwest series

MANCHESTER, August 31: England have named an unchanged squad for the remaining three cricket One-dayers against India in the NatWest Series.
"A squad of 14 players was originally selected for the opening four NatWest Series matches with the only change thus far being the inclusion of Jon Lewis as cover for the injured Ryan Sidebottom," England and Wales Cricket Board said in a release.
Sidebottom continues his rehabilitation from a side injury at the National Cricket Performance Centre and will be unavailable for the 5th ODI to be played this Sunday.
"As part of his rehabilitation is scheduled, fitness permitting, to play in Nottinghamshire's NatWest Pro40 match against Lancashire on the same day," the release said.
A decision as to when Sidebottom will join the England squad will be made following this match.
England have taken a handsome 3-1 lead in the series after beating India by three-wickets in the fourth One-dayer.
Jon Lewis will remain with the England squad for the 5th ODI but will be released to play in Gloucestershire's NatWest Pro40 match against Essex on Monday should he not be selected for the Headingley ODI.
