Ben Stokes was left out of England's provisional squad announced on Thursday for next month's T20 World Cup in Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
Stokes is currently taking an indefinite leave of absence from cricket for his mental wellbeing and to recover from a finger injury.
The 30-year-old all-rounder, a key member of the side that won the 2019 50-over World Cup, has not taken the field since July. "Durham's Ben Stokes was not available for selection and continues to take an indefinite break from all cricket to prioritise his mental wellbeing," said an England and Wales Cricket Board statement.
But fast bowler Tymal Mills has been included, returning to the side for the first time since 2017.
Mills has impressed during this season's domestic T20 Blast and starred for Southern Brave as they won the inaugural edition of the Hundred. As part of their build-up to the tournament, England are scheduled to play four warm-up matches, including a two-match T20 series against Pakistan.
England squad:
Eoin Morgan (capt), Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Sam Billings, Jos Buttler (wkt), Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Tymal Mills, Adil Rashid, Jason Roy, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood.
Travelling reserves:
Tom Curran, Liam Dawson, James Vince.
