Ben Foakes will join the Lions training camp in the UAE this month in the latest indication that the Surrey wicketkeeper is firmly in England’s plans for the upcoming Test tour of India.
Foakes was a regular during the first year of Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum’s reign but has not played for England since the tour to New Zealand in February, having been dropped at the start of the summer to accommodate Jonny Bairstow’s return from a broken leg.
