Ben Mayes and Manny Lumsden Named in England's U19s World Cup Squad

England have selected a 15-player squad for the 2026 ICC Men’s U19s World Cup, which begins in Namibia and Zimbabwe next month.

Tuesday 23 December 2025

Two Hampshire players, Ben Mayes and Manny Lumsden, have been selected by the Young Lions to represent England at the ICC Men's U19s World Cup.

18-year-old Ben Mayes, a standout performer in the Men’s Academy since 2024, has already represented England Men’s U19s on seven occasions. His rise has been rapid: he played a key role in the Academy’s historic Southern Premier League triumph in 2024 and continued to impress this summer with a commanding century against St Cross Symondians CC at Utilita Bowl.

Manny Lumsden is the latest fast-bowling talent to emerge from Hampshire’s Academy, after making his Hampshire debut in the Metro Bank One Day Cup at just 16. The 17-year-old's performances earned him a call-up to England’s U19 squad for matches against Bangladesh and Ireland in September.

England Men U19s World Cup Squad:

Thomas Rew (Somerset – captain)

Farhan Ahmed (Nottinghamshire – vice-captain)

Ralphie Albert (Surrey)

Ben Dawkins (Kent)

Caleb Falconer (Middlesex)

Ali Farooq (Leicestershire)

Alex French (Surrey)

Alex Green (Leicestershire)

Luke Hands (Lancashire)

Manny Lumsden (Hampshire)

Ben Mayes (Hampshire)

James Minto (Durham)

Isaac Mohammed (Worcestershire)

Joe Moores (Lancashire)

Sebastian Morgan (Middlesex)

This is an amazing opportunity for the players we have selected to not only wear an England shirt at a World Cup but also to go out and try and do something special.

We have a balanced squad with a core group of players who already have county experience and who have developed a camaraderie while playing together for the U19s that will serve them well during the tournament.

I really want the players to enjoy the opportunity to play at a World Cup, in a beautiful country like Zimbabwe, and to embrace the chance to compete against different countries and show their quality.
Mike Yardy, England Men U19s Head Coach

The Young Lions are set to be based in Zimbabwe for the upcoming 16-team tournament, drawn in Group C. They will kick off their campaign against Pakistan in Harare on Friday, 16th January, before taking on co-hosts Zimbabwe and Scotland.

The tournament’s format sees the top three teams from each group advance to the ‘Super Six’ stage, with the final scheduled for Friday, 6th February, at the Harare Sports Club.
