England has added Tim Bresnan to their squad for the ODI series next to Sri Lanka after the Yorkshire all-rounder was agreed fit following calf trouble.
Bresnan will join the squad at The Oval ahead of Tuesday's first ODI and is available right away having respond to treatment on the damage that kept him out of the three-match Test series and Saturday's stand-alone Twenty20.
His presence will strengthen England's options, after they underperformed in Bristol, slumping to a nine-wicket beat.
Bresnan's calf problem dates back to the winter tour of Australia. Having played an important role in securing the Ashes in the last two Tests, Bresnan flew home from the one-day series after experience uneasiness in his right leg.
He returned for the World Cup but was again anxious by the injury in the sub-continent.
He has played two Twenty20 matches for Yorkshire in the last week, with modest returns of nought for 27 off three overs and one for 47 off four overs, but England will be glad to have him back.
With 42 one-day caps to his name he offers greater experience than either Jade Dernbach or Chris Woakes, while he is also careful one of the side's most reliable limited-overs seamers.
Alastair Cook begins his reign as one-day captain today, the side's third captain in as many matches next Test leader Andrew Strauss and new Twenty20 man Stuart Broad.
