England have named their 15-man squad for the Champions Trophy and the NatWest series against New Zealand that precedes it. Ravi Bopara and Tim Bresnan, are added to those who defeated the Kiwis 2-1 in New Zealand in February.
Bresnan returns having completed his rehabilitation from elbow surgery and Bopara, whose international career appeared to have gone, gets a chance while Kevin Pietersen continues his recovery from the knee bruising that has sidelined him for several months and which has left a large dent in England's chances of winning their first global one-day tournament.
