England announced on Tuesday its one-day squad for the Stanford Twenty20 competition beginning on Oct. 25 and the tour of India starting on Nov. 14. The England selectors also named the 12 players awarded 12-month central contracts for the period starting Oct. 1 this year to Sept. 30 in 2009. ODI squad: Kevin Pietersen (captain), James Anderson, Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Stuart Broad, Paul Collingwood, Alastair Cook, Andrew Flintoff, Stephen Harmison, Samit Patel, Matt Prior, Owais Shah, Graeme Swann, Ryan Sidebottom, Luke Wright. Central contracts: Anderson, Bell, Broad, Collingwood, Alastair Cook, Flintoff, Harmison, Monty Panesar, Pietersen, Sidebottom, Andrew Strauss, Michael Vaughan. Vaughan keeps contract Former captain Michael Vaughan was among 12 players awarded yearlong England contracts Tuesday, while the 15-man squad for the lucrative, winner-takes-all Stanford Super Series was also announced. Vaughan had been struggling for runs when he resigned as Test captain on Aug. 3 after the third Test defeat that guaranteed South Africa's first series win in England since 1965. He was replaced by Kevin Pietersen, who led England to victory in the final Test of a series it lost 2-1 and to a 4-0 win over South Africa in the subsequent one-day series. “The award of an England central contract to Michael Vaughan reflects the selectors' view that Michael still has a role to play in the England Test squad over the next 12 months,” selector Geoff Miller said in a statement. “As we build toward the Ashes in 2009, we feel that Michael's experience of previous Ashes campaigns and his excellent personal record against Australia will be an important asset to the squad.” Bowling all-rounder Stuart Broad was also given a 12-month deal, but Test wicketkeeper Tim Ambrose missed out and was instead one of seven players given a lesser contract with the England and Wales Cricket Board. Left-arm seamer Ryan Sidebottom has recovered from a groin injury and replaces Tim Bresnan in the one-day squad that beat South Africa.

One-day squad: Kevin Pietesen (captain), James Anderson, Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Stuart Broad, Paul Collingwood, Alastair Cook, Andrew Flintoff, Stephen Harmison, Samit Patel, Matt Prior, Owais Shah, Graeme Swann, Ryan Sidebottom, Luke Wright. __
