Liam Dawson will line up for the South in the upcoming North-South series
Hampshire all-rounder Liam Dawson has been confirmed as a participant in the 2018 North-South series, which will be staged in Barbados in March.
Dawson, who was key to the South's 3-0 whitewash victory last year in which he was voted man of the series, returns once again with his side to be coached by England batting coach, Mark Ramprakash.
The top four England-qualified players in the PCA's MVP Rankings for each group of the Royal London One-Day Cup were again invited, with James Vince eligible having impressed in last season's List A competition. However the Hampshire skipper will be unavailable after his inclusion in England's squad for the Test series in New Zealand next month.
The unavailability of several of the players who had earned automatic invitations means the squads are tilted more towards youth and potential this year. The North squad has six players aged 21 or under, and the South squad includes four 20-year-olds plus Sam Curran, who is still only 19.
But it is also a good opportunity for more experienced players who have impressed in the county game, such as Steven Mullaney, Brett D'Oliveira, John Simpson and Sam Northeast, to show the selectors and England coaches what they can do at a higher level
James Whitaker, National Selector
It's a new series this year with completely different squads, and we know Colly and the North will be keen to make amends for what happened in the 2017 series in the UAE,
There's a big incentive for all the players to impress as we get closer to the 2019 World Cup, and I'm looking forward to getting involved in the series for the first time
Mark Ramprakash, South Head Coach
The teams will each play a warm-up game on March 15 before the three-match series at the Kensington Oval on March 18, 21 and 23. The Kensington Oval will also stage the MCC's Champion County match against Essex from March 27-30 in a spring festival of English cricket in Barbados.
