KENT'S Joe Denly and James Tredwell have both been named in the provisional England squad for the ICC World Twenty20, which takes place in the West Indies from April 30 through to May 16.

The final squad will be reduced to 15 and confirmed before the end of the month.

Commenting on Denly and Tredwell's inclusion, Kent team director Paul Farbrace, said: "We are naturally very pleased that two of our players have been named in the initial squad.

"Both are talented cricketers and it is good for Kent that we have two players in contention for such a prestigious event."

The 30-man provisional squad includes five uncapped players, seamers Steven Finn and Chris Woakes, all-rounder Peter Trego, batsman Michael Lumb and left-arm spin bowler David Wainwright.

Paul Collingwood will lead the side.
