Report & Reaction: Southern Vipers v Central Sparks, RHFT
Read the match report & hear reaction from Southern Vipers' Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy match against Central Sparks at Wormsley
Hampshire all-rounder Brad Taylor has been picked to captain the England Under 19s in their tri-series against Sri Lanka and India Under-19s in Colombo before Christmas.
The promising 18-year old is joined in the 16-man squad by fellow spinner Mason Crane with the tri-series starting in early December.
The tour to Sri Lanka before Christmas represents the last chance for the players to impress ahead of the final selection of the squad for the ICC Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh in January and February next year. We have selected a strong squad based on performances against Australia Under-19s this summer, alongside giving opportunities to a couple of players who haven’t featured at this level before. It is now down to them to show that they deserve to be named in the World Cup squad when that is announced towards the end of December.
David Graveney, England Development Programme Chairman of Selectors
England Under-19 squad to play tri-series in Sri Lanka: George Bartlett (Somerset), Hugh Bernard (Kent), Jack Burnham (Durham), Mason Crane (Hampshire), Sam Curran (Surrey), Ryan Davies (Kent), Ben Green (Somerset), Haseeb Hameed (Lancashire), Adam Hickey (Durham), Max Holden (Middlesex), Dan Lawrence (Essex), Saqib Mahmood (Lancashire), Tom Moores (Nottinghamshire), Brad Taylor (captain) (Hampshire), Callum Taylor (Essex), Jared Warner (Yorkshire).
In addition to the England Under-19s touring party for Sri Lanka, Hampshire Academy batsman Felix Organ has been announced in a 10-strong group of players to take part in a series of EDP training camps this winter at the National Cricket Performance Centre (NCPC) in Loughborough.
