Vince & Dawson Selected For England Lions Limited-Overs Series
Vince & Dawson Selected For England Lions Limited-Overs Series
The Hampshire duo have been selected of the upcoming three-match series against South Africa A
James Vince will lead an experienced England Lions squad into a three-match one-day series against South Africa A next month.
The Hampshire captain is one of four players included with senior ODI experience in the last eight months, including Hampshire team-mate Liam Dawson who also features in the 13-man squad . Ben Duckett and Steven Finn – who were both included in the England squad for the recent Royal London One-Day Series against Ireland – are the others to be included.
The squad also includes Dawid Malan, the Middlesex opener who was a non-playing member of England’s T20 squad last summer, while six of the remaining eight players toured Sri Lanka with the Lions in the winter.
The other two – Essex batsman Dan Lawrence, and Sussex’s left-arm pace bowler George Garton – played in the ICC Under-19s World Cup in Bangladesh last year, and in Garton’s case made a Lions debut in the Tri-Series against Pakistan A and Sri Lanka A last summer.
In addition to his considerable captaincy experience with Hampshire, James Vince has led the Lions before, to an excellent series victory against South Africa A in early 2015 and again when they played 50-over and T20 series against Pakistan A in Dubai in the winter of 2015-16 – and he also impressed in captaining the South to victory in the North-South Series earlier this year. He is a good tactical reader of the game.
