Now, Surrey’s Steven Davies is set to keep wicket in both the two Twenty20 matches in Cardiff on Sunday and Tuesday and the subsequent five one-day internationals, while Kieswetter has been dropped from the one-day squad entirely.
Kieswetter had replaced Test wicketkeeper Matt Prior in both limited-overs formats this season, but England national selector Geoff Miller said: “Steven Davies has had an excellent year for Surrey this season and has earned his chance to take on the role as wicketkeeper in England’s limited-overs set-up.”
“As ever, the wicketkeeper’s role is a fiercely-contested position in the England team and we’ve no doubt Craig Kieswetter will continue to press for the chance to reclaim his place in the England ODI squad,” he said.
Kieswetter will get an early chance to show his worth in the 50-over format after being selected for county side Somerset in their one-day tour match against Pakistan at Taunton today.
