Turner Included In England Lions Tour Of South Africa
John Turner is included in a 19-player group for a Lions training camp in South Africa
Hampshire bowler John Turner is included in England Lions’ 19-player squad to tour South Africa at the end of the year.
Yesterday, Turner was called up to England Men’s ODI and IT20 squads to tour the West Indies at the end of October.
He was also included in England’s white-ball squads for series against Australia in September this year.
The Lions’ tour to South Africa will take place from 20 November to 14 December, with a focus on supporting the development of the highest potential players.
The tour will conclude with a four-day match against South Africa A in Western Province. The tour is design to further develop England’s talent pool across both formats and all skills.
Full England Lions Squad:
Farhan Ahmed (Nottinghamshire)
Freddie McCann (Nottinghamshire)
Zaman Akhtar (Gloucestershire)
Ben McKinney (Durham)
Kasey Aldridge (Somerset)
Harry Moore (Derbyshire)
Pat Brown (Derbyshire)
Dan Mousley (Warwickshire)
Jafer Chohan (Yorkshire – part involvement)
Dillon Pennington (Nottinghamshire)
James Coles (Sussex)
James Rew (Somerset)
Henry Crocombe (Sussex)
Hamza Shaikh (Warwickshire)
Josh Hull (Leicestershire)
Mitchell Stanley (Lancashire)
Matt Hurst (Lancashire – part involvement)
John Turner (Hampshire)
Tom Lawes (Surrey)
The group includes six players – Jafer Chohan, Henry Crocombe, Matt Hurst, Freddie McCann, Harry Moore, and Mitch Stanley – who are experiencing their first Lions call-up.
Due to their Big Bash League commitments, Chohan, the Yorkshire leg-spinner, and Lancashire wicketkeeper-batter Hurst will join for part of the tour.
Notably, Chohan, who this week was selected for the England white-ball squad for their tour of the West Indies, is the first graduate of the successful South Asian Cricket Academy to be selected for an England squad.
Four players have previously been involved in England’s senior squads: Pat Brown, Josh Hull, Dan Mousley, and Dillon Pennington.
Derbyshire seamer Brown represented England at T20 level, with the last of his four caps coming in November 2019. Leicestershire seamer Hull earned his England Test debut last month at The Kia Oval against Sri Lanka.
This tour will mark the first for newly appointed England Lions Head Coach Andrew Flintoff. The former England international and current coach of the Northern Superchargers in The Hundred, will lead the Lions over the next 12 months.
