LONDON: All-rounder Ben Stokes on Thursday was not included in England’s 15-man preliminary squad for the T20 World Cup as he continues to take a break from cricket to focus on his mental health, the England and Wales Cricket Board said. The selectors recalled fast bowler Tymal Mills for the first time since February 2017 following his impressive performances in the Vitality T20 Blast and The Hundred. “Tymal Mills deserves his inclusion and has demonstrated over the past couple of years that he has all the skills […] his exceptional pace is a standout […] he will add variety to our bowling unit,” said England coach Chris Silverwood. England take on West Indies in their opener on Oct. 23 in Dubai. Squad: Eoin Morgan (captain), Moeen Ali, Jonathan Bairstow, Sam Billings, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Tymal Mills, Adil Rashid, Jason Roy, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Mark WoodReserves: Tom Curran, Liam Dawson, James Vince
