Jonathan Trott, the England batsman , is once again a part of the England set up as was selected to be a part of the England Lions squad which will tour South Africa early next year. He last played a Test for England in the Ashes at the Gabba.
James Whitaker, England national selector was quoted as saying by the English Cricket Board website “We believe that the 17 players provisionally included across the two Lions squads for the tour to South Africa in the New Year incorporates an excellent mix of international experience alongside fresh young talent.
“For the likes of Sam Billings, Craig Overton and Adam Riley to be playing alongside Sam Robson, Gary Ballance and Jonny Bairstow in a Lions tour is an exciting prospect for the future of English cricket, and I am certain that all of the players will learn a great deal from the experience,” he added.
“Jonathan Trott’s exceptional form and run scoring exploits for Warwickshire at the end of the summer has resulted in his selection for the First Class fixtures at the beginning of the tour. Congratulations to him and to all of the players selected,” he said.
