Sonny Baker And Liam Dawson To Tour New Zealand In October

Quick bowler Sonny Baker and all-rounder Liam Dawson have been named in England Men’s white ball squads to tour New Zealand before the Ashes

Hampshire duo Sonny Baker and Liam Dawson will travel to New Zealand in October as part of a six-match white ball tour that precedes the Ashes.

All-rounder Dawson claimed ten wickets for England this summer as he returned to the IT20 side whilst Baker made international debuts against South Africa and Ireland in One Day Internationals and IT20s respectively.

The pair helped Hampshire Hawks to a record 11th appearance at Finals Day where the side finished runners-up to Somerset.

Dawson, 35, also put in strong List A performances, including a career-best of 142 in the semi-final against Yorkshire, to help Hampshire to the final of the men’s Metro Bank One Day Cup.
