Briggs, Buttler in England ODI & T20 Squad Against Pak

London: England dropped struggling batsman Ian Bell from their one-day and Twenty20 squads on Tuesday while drafting in Danny Briggs and Jos Buttler for the limited over series against Pakistan.

Bell struggled in the three-Test series against Pakistan - 29 being his highest score in six innings - as England, the top ranked Test team, suffered a rare whitewash.

All-rounder Tim Bresnan has been included in both squads but his participation is subject to a fitness test to gauge his recovery from an elbow injury, the England and Wales Cricket Board said in a statement.

Hampshire left-arm spinner Danny Briggs's prospects of an international debut brightened with the selectors naming the 20-year-old in both the one-day and Twenyt20 squads.

Buttler, Somerset's hard-hitting 21-year-old who has played four Twenty20 Internationals, has also been named in the 16-member one-day squad.

England play the first of their four one-day internationals against Pakistan on Feb. 13 and the 50-over series would be followed by three Twenty20 matches on Feb. 23, 25 and 27.

Pakistan are hosting the series in the Gulf due to security concerns in their own country.
