SEVEN Yorkshire players have been named in England's provisional 30-man squad for this winter's one-day World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

Jonny Bairstow, Gary Ballance, Tim Bresnan, Jack Brooks, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid and Joe Root have all been named.

England begin their quest for a maiden ICC one-day title against Australia at the MCG on February 14.

Root is the only one of the seven currently with the senior squad in Sri Lanka, although Bairstow, Ballance and Rashid are there for an England Performance Programme training camp.

Brooks and Plunkett are currently in South Africa on a fast bowlers' camp.

Squad: Cook (c), Ali, Anderson, Bairstow, Ballance, Bell, Bopara, Bresnan, Broad, Brooks, Buttler, Finn, Gurney, Hales, Jordan, Kieswetter, Morgan, Parry, Patel, Plunkett, Rankin, Rashid, Root, Roy, Stokes, Taylor, Tredwell, Vince, Woakes, Wright.
