Wicketkeeper Jamie Smith will take the gloves and bat at number three in England’s Champions Trophy opener against Australia on Saturday.

Smith, 24, has recovered from a calf injury that ruled him out of the last two T20s and the entire one-day international series against India earlier this month.

Phil Salt, who had been England’s first-choice wicketkeeper, remains as opener alongside Ben Duckett while Joe Root drops down to number four.

Durham’s Brydon Carse also returns after a toe injury in a three-strong pace attack that also includes Mark Wood and Jofra Archer.

England XI: Phil Salt, Ben Duckett, Jamie Smith (wk), Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (capt), Liam Livingstone, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood
