Shoaib Bashir and Josh Tongue will get a taste of what lies in store in next winter’s Ashes series after being picked for the England Lions tour of Australia next month, with 16-year-old Rocky Flintoff also included.
The Lions have today announced a 16-man squad for the trip, which features a first-class “Test” against Australia A in Sydney, as well as two four-day games against a Cricket Australia XI in Brisbane.
