England have named their provisional squad for the 2015 World Cup, and there was no place for Warwickshire batsman Jonathan Trott.

There were few surprises in the 30-man squad, with Alastair Cook confirmed as captain, despite his recent struggles at the top of the order but Trott, who hasn’t played for England since leaving the 2013/14 Ashes tour but there were some suggestions could be picked for the tournament in Australia and New Zealand, was omitted.

James Anderson and Stuart Broad, who missed the ongoing series in Sri Lanka with knee injuries, are both recalled, while Surrey batsman Jason Roy, Yorkshire quick bowler Jack Brooks and Sussex all-rounder Luke Wright also make the list.

Of those not currently in Sri Lanka, Adil Rashid, Samit Patel, James Vince, Craig Kieswetter, Jonny Bairstow and Boyd Rankin are notable inclusions.

Seven players from county champions Yorkshire are selected, including Tim Bresnan, Gary Ballance and Liam Plunkett, but there is no place for Michael Lumb, who scored a century on his one-day international debut against the West Indies in February this year.

The list will be wittled down to a final 15 after the Sri Lanka series ends. England will also play a tri-series against Australia and India in January and February, before the World Cup begins in New Zealand and Australia on February 14.
