The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has announced a 15-man Physical Disability squad for the upcoming T20 tournament in Dubai, with three Hampshire players included in the touring party.
Hugo Hammond, Josh Mead and Daniel Reynaldo were all included in the England Physical Disability side set to head to Dubai later this month to compete in the ICC Academy Dubai Invitational T20 tournament for people with physical disability.
The competition which runs from 19 to 25 October, will see Afghanistan, Bangladesh, England and Pakistan compete for the prize which was won by last year's victorious England squad.
This tour is vital preparation as we build towards the 2019 World Championship in England. We are really looking forward to testing ourselves against some of the best sides in the sub-continent and our aim is to retain the trophy.
