England dropped struggling batsman James Vince for its One-Day International series against Pakistan, it was announced Tuesday. But it has recalled fit-again Durham duo Ben Stokes and Mark Wood into a 15-man squad which also features a call-up for Vince's Hampshire teammate Liam Dawson, yet to make his ODI debut. Vince failed to score a Test 50 after making his debut against Sri Lanka earlier this season and the recent Pakistan series saw the Hampshire captain manage just 158 runs in seven innings at an average of 22. Meanwhile fast bowler Steven Finn was not included after injuring his hamstring during England's 10-wicket defeat by Pakistan in last week's fourth Test at The Oval. Finn, 27, is not expected to play international cricket again this season. England one-day captain Eoin Morgan has been included despite not playing since breaking a finger batting for Middlesex on July 26. Stokes has been sidelined with knee and calf injuries this season while Wood has undergone two ankle operations since last playing for England in a Test against Pakistan in Dubai in October. Spin bowler Dawson made an impressive international debut against Sri Lanka at his Southampton home ground in July, taking three wickets in England's eight-wicket win. The five-match one-day series against Pakistan starts in Southampton on Aug. 24. Squad: Eoin Morgan (captain), Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler (keepr), Liam Dawson, Chris Jordan, Alex Hales, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood. England vs. Pakistan ODI fixture: Aug. 24: 1st ODI, Southampton; Aug. 27: 2nd ODI, Lord's; Aug. 30: 3rd ODI, Trent Bridge; Sept. 01: 4th ODI, Headingley; Sept. 04: 5th ODI, Cardiff. Ireland suffers Rankin blow Ireland paceman Boyd Rankin will miss the rest of the season after breaking his leg, it was announced Tuesday. The 32-year-old fractured his left tibia during a training session with English county side Warwickshire. Rankin has now been ruled out of Ireland's two One-Day Internationals against Pakistan in Malahide, near Dublin, this week as well as the ICC InterContinental Cup and T20 matches against Hong Kong and next month's ODIs against South Africa and Australia. Bracewell said Ireland would not bring a replacement for Rankin into the squad for the matches against Pakistan on Thursday and Saturday as it felt it already had sufficient seam bowling options. Rankin has taken 308 wickets in 92 first-class matches and played in the final Test for England against Australia in the 2013-14 Ashes series in Sydney before reverting back to representing Ireland.
