Match Preview: Surrey v Hampshire, Vitality CC
A 13-player Hampshire squad will travel to The Kia Oval to take on Surrey in the Vitality County Championship
Hampshire all-rounder Tom Scriven has been named in a 15-man England U19 squad for next month's World Cup in New Zealand.
The selection comes after a number of impressive performances from the 19-year-old in recent weeks as part of the national side's set-up, with the right-hander striking consecutive half-centuries in his last two innings
Alongside Scriven, the squad includes four players from Middlesex – Savin Perera, Luke Hollman, Ethan Bamber and wicketkeeper Jack Davies; three from Somerset – Tom Lammonby, Fin Trenouth and another wicketkeeper, Tom Banton; and two each from Glamorgan (Prem Sisodiya and Roman Walker) and Worcestershire (Dillon Pennington and Adam Finch).Warwickshire opener Liam Banks and Surrey all-rounder Will Jacks are also included.
The players have shown with their performances in the Tri-Series in South Africa over the last couple of weeks that they can travel with plenty of optimism.

Sussex's Jon Lewis will be assisted by Jonathan Trott as batting coach, Neil Killeen as fast bowling coach, and Chris Taylor as fielding coach – his last tournament as the ECB’s fielding lead before joining Surrey.
