Wolves man Moeen Ali lands England call-up

Moeen and Lancashire's Stephen Parry are the only uncapped players to feature while Nottinghamshire's left-arm fast bowler Harry Gurney was selected for his first full England squad for the Caribbean leg.

But there was bad news for Warwickshire's Boyd Rankin, who has been dropped, while Danny Briggs also misses out following the 3-0 T20 series defeat in Australia.

Birmingham-born Moeen played for England at under-19 level after beginning his career with Warwickshire.

He moved to New Road in 2007 and has scored almost 6,500 first-class runs. The 26-year-old, who plays for Wolves in the Birmingham Premier League, is also a useful off-spinner

National Selector James Whitaker said: "We would like to congratulate Moeen and Stephen on their selection for the tour to the Caribbean and then to represent England in the ICC World Twenty20. It is an exciting opportunity for Moeen and Stephen and all the England players. Both Moeen and Stephen have been consistent performers for Worcestershire and Lancashire and both counties and their coaching staffs must take credit for their continued progress.

"Harry Gurney, under the guidance of the excellent coaches at Trent Bridge, has performed well for Nottinghamshire in limited overs cricket – showing good control with the white ball and, as a left-arm quick, brings some variety to the tour party.

"England have won the ICC World Twenty20 – in 2010 in the Caribbean – and this group has an exciting mix of youth and Twenty20 experience and I am sure with good preparation, desire and determination they will be able to produce an exciting brand of cricket."

Stuart Broad will captain the squad in both the One Day Internationals in the Caribbean – in the absence of the rested Alastair Cook – as well as the Twenty20s and in the World T20. Eoin Morgan will be vice-captain for both tours.

Whitaker added: "Eoin has recognised leadership qualities and he has successfully led England sides in the past. This status of vice-captain is a reward for him. We believe that he and Stuart will form an excellent leadership team."

Squad: S Broad (Nottinghamshire – captain), E Morgan (Middlesex - vice captain), M Ali (Worcestershire), R Bopara (Essex), T Bresnan (Yorkshire), J Buttler (Lancashire), J Dernbach (Surrey), H Gurney (Nottinghamshire – Caribbeaan only), A Hales (Nottinghamshire), C Jordan (Sussex), M Lumb (Nottinghamshire), S Parry (Lancashire), J Root (Yorkshire), B Stokes (Durham), J Tredwell (Kent), L Wright (Sussex).
