England will be without Ben Stokes for the one-day international with Scotland and the start of the summer series against Australia.

The all-rounder suffered a torn hamstring in the build-up to this week's second Test against Pakistan and will return to his county side Durham on Monday to continue his rehabilitation.

Dawid Malan has been drafted into the squad to face Scotland in Edinburgh on June 10 while Sam Billings - initially only included for that match - is added to the squad which will take on Australia from June 13.

Stokes' injury gave Surrey all-rounder Sam Curran the chance to make his Test debut against Pakistan at Headingley.

Revised England squads:

v Scotland: Eoin Morgan (Middlesex, capt), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Jonathan Bairstow (Yorkshire), Sam Billings (Kent), Alex Hales (Nottinghamshire), Dawid Malan (Middlesex), Liam Plunkett (Yorkshire), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Jason Roy (Surrey), David Willey (Yorkshire), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire), Mark Wood (Durham)
