England name unchanged squad for five-match series against Australia

England have named an unchanged 14-man squad for the five-match NatWest series against Australia which starts at Lord's on Friday. Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann and Tim Bresnan, who were all released before the washed-out third match of the 50-over series against West Indies at Headingley last Friday, return in place of Chris Woakes, Stuart Meaker and James Tredwell. England will be aiming for a seventh consecutive win in a home one-day series but Australia are top of the ICC's World Rankings for the 50-over game. England are joint fourth with Sri Lanka. Australia will complete their preparations for the series in a day-night match at Chelmsford on Tuesday against an Essex team for whom England's ODI captain Alastair Cook and Ravi Bopara have been made available. The England management have also released Steve Finn, Eoin Morgan and Craig Kieswetter to play in Friends Life t20 fixtures for their counties on Tuesday.
