England have decided to rest Kevin Pietersen for the upcoming five-match Natwest one-day series against India.
The 31-year-old has been replaced in the squad by Durham youngster Ben Stokes, who made his England debut during yesterday's victory over Ireland.
Pietersen has been selected for the Twenty20 fixture between the two sides at Old Trafford next Wednesday and has been joined in the squad by the uncapped Alex Hales and Jos Buttler.
"We're very excited to have included some bright young players in the form of Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler and Alex Hales, all of whom have proved themselves domestically and will now be looking to successfully take the step up to international level," national selector Geoff Miller told the ECB's website.
"The decision to omit Kevin Pietersen from the one-day squad is in line with our policy of sensibly managing player workloads and will give the opportunity to another batsman to test himself batting at number four.
"We will need to play a high-quality brand of limited-overs cricket against the world champions India."
Twenty20 squad: Stuart Broad [C], Ravi Bopara, Tim Bresnan, Jos Buttler, Jade Dernbach, Steven Finn, Alex Hales, Craig Kieswetter, Eoin Morgan, Samit Patel, Kevin Pietersen, Ben Stokes, Graeme Swann.
One-day squad: Alastair Cook [C], James Anderson, Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Jade Dernbach, Steven Finn, Craig Kieswetter, Eoin Morgan, Samit Patel, Ben Stokes, Graeme Swann, Jonathan Trott.
