Young all-rounders Dom Kelly and Eddie Jack selected in 13-player squad for first Test against Sri Lanka U19s
Hampshire all-rounders Eddie Jack and Dom Kelly have been called up to the England Men's Young Lions (U19) squad for the first of their two LV= Insurance U19 Tests against Sri Lanka U19.
The duo are part of a 13-player squad who have been selected for the test starting this Sunday at Cloud County Ground, Chelmsford.
Tom Prest, who captained the Young Lions in the U19 Cricket World Cup earlier this year, will remain with Hampshire to continue gaining first-team experience in the domestic game.
A squad will be named ahead of the second Test, which begins on 28 August at the Incora County Ground in Derby, before naming a squad for the three-match Royal London U19s Series.
Young Lions Squad: Ben McKinney (Durham – captain), Tom Aspinwall (Lancashire), George Bell (Lancashire), Tommy Boorman (Gloucestershire), Ben Cliff (Yorkshire), Bertie Foreman (Sussex), Alex Horton (Glamorgan), Matthew Hurst (Lancashire), Eddie Jack (Hampshire), Dominic Kelly (Hampshire), Ben Parker (Worcestershire), Harry Singh (Lancashire), Ross Whitfield (Durham)
We’re really looking forward to this series and seeing how a wide range of the best young men’s players in this country adapt to the challenge and opportunity of international age-group cricket.
Already this season it’s been encouraging to see a number of the guys from our World Cup squad earning regular selection for their counties and making some significant contributions.
The key for us when selecting a squad is working out with the counties what’s best for each individual player, and for the first Test match - in a number of cases - we agreed that it was best for them to continue playing domestic cricket.
That removes some experience from our squad, but it also increases the challenge and opportunity for the guys who have been selected.
