Veteran England pacer James Anderson has reportedly been called up to England's first squad for one-day duty for the first time since the 2013 season in England, since Peter Moores was re-appointed as head coach.

The first squad saw a new-look selection panel opt for several familiar faces when they unveiled a 13-man party for next week's one-day international away to Scotland.

According to Sport24, Harry Gurney was the only uncapped player selected for the match in Aberdeen on May 9 while batsmen Moeen Ali and Gary Ballance retained their places in a squad again captained by opener Alastair Cook.

Anderson is among the three specialist seamers along with Chris Jordan and Gurney, while Ian Bell, Eoin Morgan, Ravi Bopara and Joe Root gives the batting a more settled look.

However, Alex Hales, Michael Lumb and fast bowler Steven Finn were left out of the squad, while the report added that Stuart Broad and Ben Stokes are both out with injuries, paving the way for a recall of Chris Woakes.

Jos Buttler retained his place as England one-day international wicketkeeper with James Tredwell holding on to the first choice off-spinner role that has been his since Graeme Swann's retirement.
