Jos Buttler's side beat Pakistan in the final of the 2022 T20 World Cup, winning their first title in the tournament since 2010. Following a disappointing 50-over World Cup last year, they go into the tournament looking to keep their remaining white-ball international title.

This time around they will have to do it without Ben Stokes, who pulled out of the tournament to prioritise ensuring he is fit to bowl during the Test match summer. Jofra Archer, however, is fit to compete in the competition, playing in his first World Cup in either format since the 2019 World Cup. England will also have their full quota of players available for the first time since the 2022 final, with Archer, Buttler, Phil Salt and Adil Rashid among their premier names available. Also included in their squad is Tom Hartley, who has yet to play a T20I but impressed on England's Test tour of India.

England will begin their title defence in Group B against Scotland on June 4 in Barbados. They will then play Australia at the same venue before travelling to Antigua to play Oman and Namibia.
