Hampshire bowler Sonny Baker has been named in England Men’s Test squad for their tour of South Africa.

Fast bowler Eddie Jack and batter Ben Mayes will also tour South Africa with England Lions following their current tour of the West Indies.

Baker made his Test debut earlier this summer at The Oval against New Zealand and claimed three wickets. He has also featured heavily in England’s white ball teams, taking 12 wickets in six matches.

The 23-year-old joined Hampshire in late 2024 and has since taken 44 wickets in 13 County Championship games, including four five-wicket hauls.

England Men begin their tour of South Africa on 9 December, with the three-match Test series ending on 7 January.

Eddie Jack is currently on tour with England as they face Australia in a white ball series, which begins on Friday 13 November. Before that, he was part of England Lions’ tour of the West Indies alongside Ben Mayes and fellow Hampshire teammate Scott Currie.

In his two T20 matches against West Indies A, Jack claimed two wickets for 28 runs, while Mayes has scored 31 runs.
