will join Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler in sitting out the T20I leg of England's tour of the Caribbean, after it was announced that he will fly home after the final ODI in St Lucia on Saturday to rest up ahead of the IPL.

Sam Curran, who is also due to play in this year's IPL but has not been a part of the limited-overs squad, has been called up in place of Moeen.

Moeen, who finished as England's leading wicket-taker in Test cricket this winter after returning to the side during the India series last summer, is - like Stokes and Buttler - a key part of England's squads in all three formats.

He was retained by Royal Challengers Bangalore for the 2019 IPL, which gets underway on March 23. Stokes and Buttler, who were omitted from the T20 squad when it was originally announced last week, are both on Rajasthan Royals' books.

IPL given preference to International duties? Their BCCI masters have seemingly made the call :rolleyes:
 
:oops:

10.5 D Arcy Short to Pant, out Caught by J Richardson!! Richardson with a stunner! One of the best catches you would ever see. It was a tossed up delivery wide of off, Pant wanted to tonk it over long-on. He mistimes it horribly, bat turns in his hand at the point of contact. Richardson at long-off flies in the air like a superman to his left and takes a truly sensational catch. Pant's tough time in T20I continues. Pant c J Richardson b D Arcy Short 1(6)

Good job by Australia. Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than seeing India annihilated in their own back yard. Fck em...
 
Butler's first 50 off 45 balls. Butler's next 100 off 32 balls.
 
Chis Gayle has the potential to win this all on his own, unbelievable so far.
