England on Sunday retained six players from their World Cup squad, including skipper Jos Buttler, for the limited-overs tour of the West Indies that starts on December 3.
Defending champions England failed to qualify for the World Cup semi-finals in India after winning just three of their nine league matches. Their latest win came against Pakistan in Calcutta on Saturday evening.

Stokes is expected to undergo knee surgery after arriving in England from India.

The six players who were part of England’s regular campaign in India and are on tour of the West Indies are Buttler, Gus Atkinson, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Sam Curran and Liam Livingstone.
England will play three ODIs and five T20Is in the Caribbean.
Speaking after England’s last match at the World Cup, Buttler said there is no need for drastic changes in the squad.
“I don’t think there will be a drastic change in plan like we had in 2015. There are a few things we need to change and build something new. That doesn’t mean there will be a huge cleanup, but we have There is work to be done to become a top team again,” Buttler said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
