Kent openers Rob Key and Joe Denly have been named in England’s provisional 30-man squad for the Champions Trophy.

England will reduce the squad to 15 players by August 23 for the tournament, which takes place in South Africa this September.

Kent skipper Key was part of the England squad for the World Twenty20 earlier this summer but Denly (pictured), who has played for England Lions, is yet to play for a full England team having been cut from the initial 30-man squad for that tournament as well.
