Six members of the squad (Anderson, Bopara, Bresnan, Broad, Morgan, Swann) were involved in the last ICC Champions Trophy held in 2009 in South Africa.

“The ICC Champions Trophy provides this England squad with a great opportunity to win an global 50 over event, something we have yet to achieve, and we are excited to be playing on home soil. We are fully aware that with the best eight sides in world cricket competing against each  other we will need to play a very high standard of cricket over a three week period to give ourselves a chance of winning the title and we are very much looking forward to the challenge.”
