Sam Curran replaces Moeen in T20 squad to face Windies

Moeen Ali will leave England's tour of the West Indies after the fifth and final ODI.

England all-rounder Sam Curran has not played for England in the shortest format of the game.

Sam Curran will join his brother Tom in the England T20 international squad to face West Indies after being named as a replacement for Moeen Ali.

Moeen was initially selected in the party to take on the Windies, but the all-rounder will leave the tour at the end of the ODI series.

Curran, uncapped in the shortest format, comes in after he was overlooked for the ODIs. The all-rounder played in two of the three Tests in the series defeat in the Caribbean and has made two ODI appearances.

England and West Indies are level at 1-1 in the ODI series after the third match in Grenada was washed out without a ball being bowled on Monday.
