England's [ Images ] selectors have included veteran fast bowler Darren Gough in a 30-man provisional squad for this year's ICC [ Images ] Champions Trophy [ Images ] in India [ Images ] although there was no place for new spin sensation Monty Panesar [ Images ].
The squad released on Thursday includes five players uncapped at one-day international level -- Ravi Bopara [ Images ], Stuart Broad [ Images ], Mal Loye, Graham Onions [ Images ] and Michael Yardy -- but some are likely to miss out when the travelling squad is cut to 14.
Gough, who will be 36 by the time of the October/November tournament, has not featured in an England one-day squad since last year's series against Australia [ Images ].
Panesar has taken 16 wickets in the first three Tests of the current series against Pakistan but has been overlooked in favour of long-serving spinner Ashley Giles, presently injured.
