England's 15-man squad for both the NatWest Series against Australia and ICC Champions Trophy - which swiftly follows in South Africa - will be led by Andrew Strauss and contains just one uncapped player, Kent batsman Joe Denly.

As for England's lynchpin all-rounder Flintoff, set to retire from Test cricket after this week's Ashes decider because of a chronic injury to his right knee, a busy schedule appears in the offing. His first assignment is as part of England's 14-man party to travel to Belfast for a one-day international against Ireland - just three days after the conclusion of the decisive fifth Test at The Oval.

That team will be captained by Paul Collingwood, in the rested Strauss' absence, as will the 15 men chosen to face Australia in two Twenty20 internationals at Old Trafford.

After that, Flintoff and England face seven NatWest ODIs against Australia in just over two weeks - before flying out for the Champions Trophy.

Denly is a notable inclusion in all three squads - as are Yorkshire leg-spinner Adil Rashid, discarded Ashes batsman Ravi Bopara, wicketkeeper Matt Prior and Owais Shah.

But Jonathan Trott, called up in Bopara's place for The Oval, makes only the Twenty20 reckoning - a batting replacement for Strauss - and there are no places at all for Test fast bowler Steve Harmison or batsman Ian Bell. Alastair Cook, James Foster, Robert Key and Dimitri Mascarenhas are others who have failed to make the cut from the provisional 30-man Champions Trophy list.

England one-day squad for The NatWest Series against Australia and the ICC Champions Trophy: AJ Strauss (captain, Middlesex), JM Anderson (Lancashire), RS Bopara (Essex), TT Bresnan (Yorkshire), SCJ Broad (Nottinghamshire), PD Collingwood (Durham), JL Denly (Kent), A Flintoff (Lancashire), EJG Morgan (Middlesex), MJ Prior (Sussex), AU Rashid (Yorkshire), OA Shah (Middlesex), RJ Sidebottom (Nottinghamshire), GP Swann (Nottinghamshire), LJ Wright (Sussex).
