Sussex seamer Jofra Archer has a maximum of six ODIs to force his way into England's ICC Cricket World Cup plans after being left out of the preliminary 15-man squad.
Barbados-born Archer qualified for world No 1 team England in March and has been named in enlarged squads for May's T20 and ODI series against Ireland and Pakistan.
But the selectors have opted not to draft the 24-year-old straight into the provisional World Cup squad, which is unchanged from the winter series against Windies.
England do not need to finalise their squad until May 22, giving Archer the chance to prove he deserves a place as captain Eoin Morgan seeks to lead his side to a maiden 50-over global title.
Archer has made an impact on the global stage with his performances for Sussex, Big Bash side Hobart Hurricanes and IPL team Rajasthan Royals and national selector Ed Smith said his ability puts him very much in the running.
"The selection panel has been impressed with Jofra Archer's performances in domestic and franchise cricket. He is a very talented and exciting cricketer," he said.
Archer is joined in the 14-man squad for the one-off ODI against Ireland, on May 3, and the 17-man party for the five-match series against Pakistan, which starts on May 8, by his Sussex team-mate Chris Jordan who is back in the 50-over frame for the first time since September 2016.
Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes are all rested for the trip to Malahide and the NatWest IT20 against Pakistan, as is Chris Woakes as the selectors continue to manage his workload, but Sam Billings and James Vince are both included.
Eoin Morgan (Middlesex), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Tom Curran (Surrey), Joe Denly (Kent), Alex Hales (Nottinghamshire), Liam Plunkett (Surrey), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Jason Roy (Surrey), Ben Stokes (Durham), David Willey (Yorkshire), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire), Mark Wood (Durham)
