Top-order batter Harry Brook will captain the English side, which is placed in Group C at the World Cup, along with West Indies, Italy and Bangladesh.
England, which won the T20 titles in 2010 and 2022, also announced squads for its tour to Sri Lanka for an ODI and T20I series before the T20 World Cup.
Lead pacer Jofra Archer will miss the Sri Lanka tour, but has been named in the T20 World Cup squad, as he continues to recover from the injury he sustained during the ongoing Ashes. Meanwhile, Seamer Josh Tongue received his maiden T20I call-up.
In the 2024 T20 World Cup, England was beaten by eventual champion India in the semifinal.
