England have added batsman Ian Bell to their Twenty20 squad for their upcoming series against the West Indies.

The Warwickshire player will provide cover for Eoin Morgan and Alex Hales, who both missed the opening one-day international with injuries.

Limited-overs coach Ashley Giles told BBC Sport: "He is a world-class player, a world-class fielder and a world-class bloke, so we look forward to meeting up with him."

The 31-year-old is a Test regular, but has featured in just seven matches in the 20-over format for England, with the last being in 2011.

The series gets underway in Barbados next Sunday.
