James Coles has been handed another show of faith from the England selectors.
The Sussex all-rounder was named in 16-strong squad for the ODI series against India, which has been drawn largely from the current T20 group in which he also features.
Joe Root comes back while Phil Salt, Jordan Cox, Sonny Baker and Luke Wood drop out.
England are looking to the future after Test skipper Ben Stokes announced his retirement from the international scene.
Sam Curran is being viewed as a possible successor in the all-round role.
But uncapped Coles is another possible replacement for Stokes should England pivot to a spin-bowling all-rounder and he is retained in a further nod from the selectors.
Curran is currently involved in the T20 series against India, which continues at Emirates Old Trafford on Saturday, but did not rule out a second act in the Test arena.
He said: “Stokesy is going to be a big gap to fill for whoever takes that role but, yeah, I love playing for England.
“There’s obviously going to be a lot of noise on whoever takes that spot.
“I don’t want to put pressure on myself, (but) I’m a competitive person – whatever challenge is thrown at me, I’ll try my best.

“So whatever format that is, I’ll do my best whenever I can. We’ve got a big series here, so I’m focused on that and then we’ll see what happens later on. I’m feeling good. It’s a long summer ahead.”
England have made two changes from the first T20 washout in Durham, swapping out Saqib Mahmood and Wood with Jofra Archer and debutant Josh Tongue coming in.
