Samit Patel and Craig Kieswetter have been recalled to England's Twenty20 and ODI squads for the matches against Sri Lanka. Steven Finn is a surprise selection in both teams while James Anderson has kept his one-day place after being dropped during the World Cup but isn't in the Twenty20 side.
Ravi Bopara has been named for both formats despite a slouch in form since not being selected for the Test series against Sri Lanka while Jade Dernbach and Chris Woakes have earned call-ups, but there is shockingly no place for Chris Tremlett. The Twenty20 and ODIs mark the real start of England's three-captain policy as Stuart Broad and Alastair Cook take charge of the limited-overs sides.
Collingwood just returned from a two-month break following knee surgery, an operation which he said has put a new spring back into his step. But despite his certain value to the team as an elder statesman, canny medium-pacer and lightning sharp fielder in the gully, the extent to which his runs dried up in the winter was alarming.
Twenty20 squad: Stuart Broad (capt), Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Jade Dernbach, Steven Finn, Craig Kieswetter, Michael Lumb, Eoin Morgan, Samit Patel, Kevin Pietersen, Graeme Swann, Chris Woakes, Luke Wright.
One-day squad: Alastair Cook (capt), James Anderson, Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Stuart Broad, Jade Dernbach, Steven Finn, Craig Kieswetter, Eoin Morgan, Samit Patel, Kevin Pietersen, Graeme Swann, Jonathan Trott, Chris Woakes.
