England announce playing XI for first ODI vs West Indies, pick new opener

England have confirmed their playing XI for the first of the three-match ODI series against the West Indies. This series also marks the start of Harry Brook's captaincy era in white-ball cricket, and the hosts have taken a massively surprising decision, pushing Jamie Smith to open the innings alongside Ben Duckett. Phil Salt has been dropped from England's ODI setup after the Champions Trophy debacle and Smith has now filled the vacant spot at the top of the order.
