  • ​England Name Test Squad for Sri Lanka Tour
    England Test captain Joe Root Sep 21, 2018 15:30 BST England name Test squad for Sri Lanka Tour England name Test squad for Sri Lanka Tour England National Cricket Selectors have named the following 16-strong squad for the three-match Test series in Sri Lanka starting in November. England Test squad Joe Root (Yorkshire) captain Moeen Ali (Worcestershire) Jimmy Anderson (Lancashire) Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire) wicketkeeper Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire) Rory Burns (Surrey) Jos Buttler (Lancashire) Sam Curran (Surrey) Joe Denly (Kent) Keaton Jennings (Lancashire) Jack Leach (Somerset) Ollie Pope (Surrey) Adil Rashid (Yorkshire) Ben Stokes (Durham) Olly Stone (Warwickshire) Chris Woakes (Warwickshire) Surrey opening batsman Rory Burns, Kent batsman Joe Denly and Warwickshire seamer Olly Stone are called-up to the squad for the first time. Burns, who has captained Surrey to the Specsavers County Championship Division One title this summer, has been the leading run scorer in the top flight this season scoring 1,319 championship runs at an average of over 69. The 32-year-old Denly returns to the England set-up for the first time since 2010 when he earned nine ODI caps and played five IT20s. The experienced right-hand batsman is comfortable batting at the top of the order and has played a pivotal role in Kent’s successful season, which saw them secure promotion to the top-flight of the County Championship this week. He is also a useful leg-spin bowler and will give options to England’s attack in the spin friendly conditions of Sri Lanka. Stone, who was named in England’s ODI squad for the first time earlier this week, has been in excellent form for Warwickshire at the top of the Specsavers County Championship Division Two.

Tom Curran will be playing at his home ground alongside brother and fellow England international Sam who was retained by Oval Invincibles last month. Renowned for his death bowling ability in white-ball cricket, Tom has featured in high profile leagues across the world including the Big Bash and the IPL. Tom Curran said, “I am thrilled to be playing for Oval Invincibles. I love playing at the Kia Oval and it will be special to play in the first season of The Hundred at my home ground. “I think The Hundred is an incredibly exciting competition and I’m really looking forward to it. We are building a strong squad with a number of local players which I hope will help us be successful next summer.” Georgia Adams starred for Southern Vipers in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy this summer, leading the side to the trophy with over 500 runs including an incredible 154* in what was a breakout tournament for the Sussex-based batter. Georgia Adams said, “I can’t wait for next year so we can finally get the long- awaited chance to compete in The Hundred. It will definitely be the spectacle of the summer and I’m particularly looking forward to playing a format of cricket where I can express myself as a batter and play expansive cricket.
