Academy Duo Eve O'Neill And Shristi Patil Sign First Pro Contracts
Spin bowler Eve O’Neill and batter Shristi Patil have signed one-year professional contracts
Hampshire all-rounder Dom Kelly and pace bowler Eddie Jack are both included in England Men’s U19 ODI squad to tour India in November.
They will feature in a quadrangular series against India U19 A, India U19 B, and Bangladesh U19s.
The series will provide the final competitive preparation for the Young Lions ahead of the 2024 ICC Under-19 Men’s World Cup, which will be staged in Colombo, Sri Lanka from 13 January - 4 February. Selection for the 2024 ICC Under-19s Men’s World Cup will be announced in December.
Touring India at any level is challenging, which why it is so valuable to be able to expose our best young players to these experiences at Under-19 level. We expect both the India and Bangladesh Under-19 teams to be very strong, as India showed when they beat us in the final of the most recent ICC Under-19 World Cup last year. So this is a huge opportunity for the 17 players who have been selected, especially with the next U19 World Cup following this tour in January 2024.
