David Willey will return to the England one-day international squad for the Royal London series with Pakistan after Wednesday's opening game.

The Yorkshire all-rounder hurt his left hand trying to take a return catch off Durham opener Mark Stoneman during the NatWest T20 Blast semi-final against Durham.

The 26-year-old underwent a scan on Sunday and another on Monday, after which he tweeted: "Good news! No serious damage so I will be back as soon as the swelling goes."

Willey had been withdrawn from England's ODI squad as precaution with Nottinghamshire seamer Jake Ball replacing him in the squad.
