England captain Eoin Morgan has been passed fit despite suffering a broken finger while fielding for Middlesex on Sunday.

There are no concerns over his fitness for England as they step up their preparations for next year’s World Cup, when they will be favourites to win the trophy on home soil.

Jos Buttler has been rested for the Scotland ODI, with Sam Billings deputising.

Plunkett is back after missing the 3-2 series win against New Zealand in March due to a hamstring injury, replacing Craig Overton.
