Hampshire's James Vince has been called up to England's squad for the final match of the ODI series against India at Headingley on Tuesday (July 17).

Vince, who has not played an ODI since October 2016, replaces Dawid Malan who has been released to play for the England Lions in their four-day match against India 'A' at New Road, Worcester which begins on Monday (July 16). All-rounder Sam Curran has also been released from England's ODI squad to play for the Lions although he has not been replaced.

Following a difficult winter in Australia and New Zealand, Vince has been in good form for Hampshire. He scored 171 against Yorkshire in the Royal London One-Day Cup semi-final before leading his county to the title in the final against Kent. In nine matches, Vince averaged 58 in the one-day tournament and he is also averaging 48 in the Championship.

Although Vince is unlikely to make England's final eleven for the series decider in Leeds, his call-up is a sign that the 27 year-old's international career is not over. He was dropped from the Test side for the two match series against Pakistan at the start of the summer with questions about his technique and mentality unanswered during the winter.

It looked like being a long way back but such has been Vince's strong form, particularly in the 50-over competition, he has moved back into the selectors thoughts. His call-up also proves that Kent's Sam Billings, the next batting cab of the rank for England's white ball teams over the past two years, has moved further down the pecking order after struggling in his recent opportunities.

The Lions will be captained by Surrey's Rory Burns, who will take charge of a strong team including Alastair Cook, Chris Woakes, Dom Bess, Malan and Curran, all of whom played against Pakistan. With T20 cricket dominating the county schedule, this four-day game is an opportunity for these players to have some red-ball practice ahead of the five Test series against the full Indian side which starts in August.

England Lions: R Burns (Surrey, capt), A Cook (Essex), N Gubbins (Middlesex), D Malan (Middlesex), O Pope (Surrey, wk), C Woakes (Warwickshire), S Curran (Surrey), D Bess (Somerset), M Fisher (Yorkshire), J Leach (Somerset), J Porter (Essex).
