Gus Atkinson, Henry Crocombe, Sam Curran, Will Jacks and Jamie Overton have been included in England’s squads for the upcoming white-ball series in Australia
The same five players will also be part of England’s October tri-series with Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Pakistan.
It was announced yesterday that all five players would be on ECB Central Contracts for the next year, alongside Surrey teammates Jamie Smith, Ollie Pope, Matthew Fisher and Dan Lawrence.
Gus Atkinson has been named in England’s ODI squad only. His fellow quicks Jofra Archer, Sonny Baker and Josh Tongue will also depart after the ODIs ahead of England’s December Test tour to South Africa.
Hampshire and MI London’s Eddie Jack and Somerset’s Thomas Rew earn their first England Men call-ups as part of the IT20 squad. Rew, who at 18 is the youngest player in the squad, captained the Young Lions to the ICC Men’s U19s World Cup final in February.
England Men National Selector, Marcus North, said: “The returns of Jacob Bethell and Jofra Archer for the ODI series means that we will be at close to full strength as we ramp up preparations for a World Cup in a year’s time.
“The four quick bowlers will then leave after the three-game ODI series as we look to manage them ahead of the Test tour of South Africa.
“Our T20 team has been in excellent form under captain Harry Brook and we are looking forward to the opportunity to test ourselves in Australian conditions against a very good team.
“We will have four uncapped players in an exciting IT20 squad including Thomas Rew and Eddie Jack, both of whom toured Australia with the England Lions last year, and who earn their first England call-ups.”
