He has been left out of the 16 man squad to take on the aussies and New Zealand next month.

Michael Vaughan will return from injury along with Monty Panesar who will make his one day debut.

Leicestershire wicket-keeper Paul Nixonhas been brought up to back-up Chris Read with Geraint Jones left out.

The Commonwealth Bank Series begins on 12 January it is the last one-day tournament before the World Cup.

England will name a one-day captain once the Ashes Test series is over, with Vaughan and Andrew Flintoff the main contenders.

David Graveney said: "Michael Vaughan has been included in the one-day squad subject to fitness.

"He has made excellent progress with his recovery from injury.

"But we feel that it would not be appropriate to announce the captaincy of the one-day side at this stage and will delay any announcement until after the Test series."

The squad is as follows:

England squad: J Anderson, I Bell, P Collingwood, J Dalrymple, A Flintoff, E Joyce, J Lewis, S Mahmood, P Nixon, M Panesar, K Pietersen, L Plunkett, C Read, A Strauss, C Tremlett, M Vaughan.
