Kent players Rob Key and Joe Denly have been named in the provisional 30-man England squad for the ICC World Twenty20 tournament.

Denly is one of five uncapped players in the squad along with Eoin Morgan, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid and Graham Napier.

Denly and Morgan were in the Kent and Middlesex teams which won the 2007 and 2008 domestic Twenty20 Cup competitions, while Essex's Napier has got an IPL contract with Mumbai Indians.

National selector Geoff Miller said Key was also "in the mix" to captain the side with Andrew Strauss not included in the squad.

He added: "We have a wealth of talented players in the 30-man squad who have proved themselves adept at limited overs cricket so there are several options for the selectors to consider before reducing the squad to 15 players at the start of next month.

"We have an encouraging blend of experience and youth in this preliminary squad including a number of uncapped players who will be eager to make their international debut at home during what promises to be an fantastic tournament in June."
