Ian Bell was recalled to the England squad on Monday for their upcoming three-match one-day international series against the West Indies.
Warwickshire batsman Bell returns to the limited overs set-up after being left out of England's 4-0 one-day win against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates in February, having struggled in the preceding Tests.
However, with Kevin Pietersen having retired from one-day internationals last week, England have a vacancy at the top of the order that Bell, who made an unbeaten 76 in the drawn third Test against the West Indies concluded at Edgbaston on Monday, is set to fill alongside one-day skipper Alastair Cook.
The 30-year-old Bell averages just over 34 in 108 one-day internationals and has scored just the one hundred.
However, England coach Andy Flower, speaking ahead of Saturday's series opener at Southampton, said: "It is safe to assume he (Bell) will open.
