England have added fit-again Yorkshire all-rounder Tim Bresnan to their squad for the five one-day internationals against Sri Lanka.
The 26-year-old missed the Test series due to a calf problem, but recently returned to action for his county and now has the chance to impress again on the international stage.
He will compete with fellow seamersJames Anderson, Jade Dernbach, Steven Finn and Chris Woakes for a place.
The ODIs will see opening batsman Alastair Cook lead England after Stuart Broad captained the side in their nine-wicket defeat in the sole Twenty20 international in Bristol.
Cookhas Jonathan Trott and Anderson back in the fold after they were omitted from the T20 action, while Craig Kieswetter continues as wicketkeeper.
Ian Bell will return after being left out of the side for the Bristol match, having been in fine form during the Test series, while both Ravi Bopara and Samit Patel are handed further opportunities to revive their international careers.
Sri Lanka veteran Sanath Jayasuriya bows out of international cricket after the first match of the series at The Oval, with the left-hander having played a record 444 one-day internationals. England are1.66 to win the opening match of the series and1.57 to take the series as a whole, with Cook4.50 to be top-scorer for his side at The Oval.
