Vince & Dawson Selected For England Lions Limited-Overs Series

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.

The Lions series starts at Trent Bridge the previous day with the remaining two games at Northampton on Saturday June 3 and Monday June 5, the latter a day-night fixture – with free entry to all three games.

The Lions also play a four-day game against South Africa A at the Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence from June 21-24, and then a three-day match against the senior South Africa tourists in Worcester from June 29 – July 1, with squads for those matches to be named next month.
