Bell in full swing

By Adam Rhead

Ian Bell will take first shot at replacing Kevin Pietersen, after the One Day Squad for the three match series with the West Indies was announced....

Peitersen's decision to 'retire' from the shortest form of the game, has left England with a big hole to fill in their middle order, and first 'dabs' will go to Warwickshire batsman Ian Bell, who earns himself a recall to the England one day side.

With only one centry from 108 ODI games, it comes with a risk, but Bell is expected to open alongside captain Alastair Cook for the three match series.

England ODI squad: A Cook (Essex, capt), J Anderson (Lancashire), J Bairstow (Yorkshire), I Bell (Warwickshire), R Bopara (Essex), T Bresnan (Yorkshire), S Broad (Nottinghamshire), J Dernbach (Surrey), S Finn (Middlesex), C Kieswetter (Somerset), E Morgan (Middlesex), S Patel (Nottinghamshire), G Swann (Nottinghamshire), J Trott (Warwickshire).

England T20 squad: S Broad (Nottinghamshire, capt), J Bairstow (Yorkshire), R Bopara (Essex), T Bresnan (Yorkshire), D Briggs(Hampshire), J Buttler (Somerset), J Dernbach (Surrey), S Finn (Middlesex), A Hales (Nottinghamshire), C Kieswetter (Somerset), E Morgan (Middlesex), S Patel (Nottinghamshire), G Swann (Nottinghamshire).
