The packed summer schedule of international cricket, followed by an early winter Test tour to Pakistan, means that the first T20I against Australia is set to take place a day after the end of England's final Test against Sri Lanka. This will almost certainly necessitate a split between squads, with cross-format players involved in the Test side like Harry Brook, Ben Duckett, Gus Atkinson and Mark Wood, likely not available for that match at least. They will also be without players they've used in the past as back-up options, like Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope.

With uncertainty over what the makeup of England's white-ball sides will look like going forward, and no clear point at which whoever England's new coach is will have a full set of players to select from, new faces could get significant opportunities by the end of the summer. Here are five players as yet uncapped at senior international level who could make their white-ball debut by the end of this summer.

Jacob Bethell

20-year-old Jacob Bethell has already been spoken of as a future England player for several years. Warwickshire teammate and former England batter Ian Bell described the allrounder as "the best 17-year-old" he had ever seen in 2021 shortly before he shot to attention in the 2022 U19 World Cup. He stuck out for his high strike rate in that competition, making 88 off 42 deliveries in England's quarter-final win over South Africa. He also hit a 15-ball half-century against Northants in the T20 Blast this year and took figures of 2-5 in just 1.4 overs against Leicestershire.

Josh Hull

Towering over most of the competition at 6 foot 7, 19-year-old Leicestershire fast bowler Josh Hull burst onto the radar last year during the One Day Cup. He's touted as a future England option by both his county captain Lewis Hill and England Performance Director Rob Key. Hull is also a left-armer, and will send the ball down at a similar height to Reece Topley.

With his pace hitting the late eighties, cultivating a fast-bowler with the potential Hull has could be important for England's future bowling attack. Given he's still very young, a white-ball series against Australia could come slightly too soon for Hull given other options available. He also struggled to keep the runs down in both spells he's bowled so far in this season of The Hundred.

Dan Mousley

A second Warwickshire allrounder who could make his international debut this summer is Dan Mousley. Mousley most eye-catching performance this summer came earlier this week (July 31), when he took 3-9 off 15 balls against Trent Rockets in The Hundred. Bowling 10 balls of right-arm off-breaks at the end of the match and with only 10 runs to defend, Mousley conceded just three in a thrilling finish. He's also put in significant performances with the bat at No.3 in the Blast this year, hitting 60* off 44 balls against Derbyshire, his third half-century of the competition.

John Turner

Turner is another pace-bowler who could make his long-awaited England debut this summer. He was called-up to England's T20I squad to face New Zealand last year, less than three months after making his debut in the format, but suffered a side-strain in The Hundred which ruled him out of the series. He also went on England's post-World Cup meltdown tour of the Caribbean, but spent the series on the sidelines. As with Hull, it's not hard to see what draws the selectors' eyes to him.

He's been clocked above 90mph and, after a spell of injuries kept him out of the early season, he's been instrumental in their T20 Blast campaign. In Hampshire's last outing against Essex, he took his career-best numbers in the format with 4-23 at 5.75 an over, and currently has 15 wickets in the competition.

Sam Cook

Cook was earmarked for an England Test debut early in the summer, following an impressive couple of matches with the Kookaburra ball in the County Championship. However, injury prevented him from being named in the squad for the West Indies Tests. On his return from injury, Cook was instrumental in Essex's Blast win over Kent, bowling the 18th and 20th overs in the innings and conceding just eight runs.

He bowled 12 dot balls in his spell of four overs. While preferred by England as a red ball option, he could end up making his debut in the white ball format depending on player availability, and whether he is selected for the Sri Lanka Tests.
