No thoughts really as 30 man squad is massive, and hard to miss anyone from it.

When it's cut to 15 it will cause some debate,

[The_Bird]

Willey is missing.

Rankin, Bresnan and Finn all included with no form whatsoever. One has even forgot how to bowl. Should cause quite a bit of debate. Kieswetter back in and Dernbach is STILL in an England squad...!

[Jason_Yuan]

I am sure finn can still play and he is a vital player, kieswetter should be in the squad as opener n keeper wif buttler at 6, joe root should be dropped with his form quite shockingly bad

Who's Steven Parry?

Ridiculous sized squad, some players listed have absolutely no chance of being included. They seemed to be named just for the sake of it. Vince, Taylor, Finn, Gurney, Onions, Ali and Parry, whoever he is, don't stand a chance of being considered.

Ideally I think the squad should be based around the top performers from the previous years t20 comp, with the other England players such as Broad, Morgan and Stokes makig up the rest of the squad. So I agree Willey should definitely be in the side, not sure why Rankin, Root, Borthwick and Briggs have been selected

Parry bowls left arm Yardys for Lancashire in limited overs stuff.

I think England need a willey!

I think with it being in March, you have to pick the current players in this 30 man squad.

How would it look if you were Root/Rankin etc who are picked for the current tour but not in the 30 man squad?  for instance, drop Rankin from the 30-man squad then he rips through the Aussies a few times, that'd make the ECB look (even more) stupid.

Just because he is in the 30 man squad, doesn't mean he is going to the World Cup.

David Willey has an injury.

[ajmw89]

If SA ever played a team containing de Kock and we played one including Willey, there'd be all sorts of gags on the go... 

[mattw]

Moeen has got every chance of playing, an off-spinning attacking batman who plays spin well in Bangladesh - perfect fit.

[Neon Cricket]

Would certainly say Moeen has a chance, his form last season and in the EPP matches certainly deserves it!

[WalkingWicket37]

Carbs, Briggs & Vince. The mighty Hampshire making up 10% of an England squad, great to see (and only 1 even has a realistic chance of getting on the plane)

[compstallcc]

i watch lancs a lot and even i am suprised parry has made the squad, fair play to him though but to be fair he has got pretty decent t20 stats
