T20 is often a wickets in hand game but Pakistan take that to extremes.

Today I found out that Harry's middle name is 'Cherrington'.

Test Squad: Ben Stokes, James Anderson, Harry Brook, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ben Foakes, Will Jacks, Keaton Jennings, Jack Leach, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Overton, Ollie Pope, Ollie Robinson, Joe Root, Mark Wood
Broad on paternity leave No recognised second spinner - instead Jacks and Livingstone Ne recognised second keeper - instead Duckett and Pope Jennings in for Lees Crawley survives No Potts or Coverton, Joverton tours
That is an... interesting squad. It feels very Duncan Fletcher. Probably reasonably pragmatic to not pick spinners they don't think are good enough but I can't help but be gutted for Parkinson. I imagine Lancs Twitter will be midly mollified by the picking of Jennings and Livingstone, but maybe not.

So Durham get Lees and Potts back for next season? Oh no what a shame.
Combination of sane and daft. Jennings and Duckett: sane. Crawley and no proper second spinner: daft.

Potts will be the nightmare international I think - only gets picked during the home summer, so doesn't get a full central contract and also doesn't play for his county. You want the opposite really, picked all winter and then available April - September no problem!

Fingers crossed Robinson stays fit and England don't need him...

Fingers crossed Robinson stays fit and England don't need him... Craig Overton would like to point out that you absolutely can be an eternal 12th man and never play for county or country!

England Lions training squad: Tom Abell, Rehan Ahmed, Josh Bohannon, Jack Carson, Sam Conners, Sam Cook, Matthew Fisher, Haseeb Hameed, Tom Haines, Jack Haynes, Lyndon James, Dan Lawrence, Liam Patterson-White, Matthew Potts, Jamie Smith
Like that squad. Assume Sam Hain is injured after his last game of the season as otherwise he's an obvious omission. But like the rest.

Rather he opens and we chuck in an actual bowler but we'll see how this goes...
