Jacob Bethell and Jofra Archer are set to return to action for England's white-ball tour of Australia, starting in November.

Bethell is fit again following the knee injury he sustained during the ODI Series win against India in July that also saw him miss the subsequent Test series against Pakistan and white-ball series against Sri Lanka in August and September.

Archer returns after being rested for the tri-series in Pakistan with Eddie Jack and Thomas Rew earning their first call-ups as part of the IT20 squad.

Rew, who at 18 is the youngest player in the squad, captained the Young Lions to the ICC Men's U19s World Cup final in February.

Phil Salt returns from the quad injury that ruled him out of last month's 3-0 T20 Series win over Sri Lanka while Aneurin Donald retains his place after making his debut in that series.

Jos Buttler remains sidelined as he begins his rehabilitation following hamstring surgery while Saqib Mahmood misses out with a knee injury.
