The England Men U19s will travel to Sri Lanka and Pakistan with an 18-player roster. In December, the Young Lions will play three Youth ODIs and a Youth Test against Pakistan U19S in Rawalpindi. The tour will start with a training camp for most of the team in Colombo, Sri Lanka, from November 19–30. The Young Lions will travel to Australia in January, and Neil Killeen will take over as head coach for the team’s winter program.
The team will finish a 12-day training camp in Colombo, Sri Lanka, from November 19 to November 30 before travelling to Pakistan. The Youth Test will take place in Rawalpindi from December 13 to December 16, after the Youth ODIs on December 5, 7, and 9.
The Young Lions’ temporary head coach for their winter program is Neil Killeen, a former Durham seamer. After Mike Yardy assumes the position of Elite National Batting Lead, he will assume leadership. In addition to the Pakistan series, the winter calendar also includes a trip to Australia in the new year.
The team will be captained by Ralphie Albert, with Farhan Ahmed serving as vice-captain. Jeet Varaich, a left-arm seamer from Worcestershire, receives his maiden Young Lions call-up, and uncapped Marley Simpson and Lyke Symington will only be included for the training camp in Sri Lanka. In Rawalpindi, Charlie Taylor and Manny Lumsden will meet with the team to oversee individual fast bowler development programs.
Jeet Varaich, a left-arm seamer from Worcestershire, was called up to the Young Lions squad for the first time, making him one of the group’s uncapped players. One of the noteworthy new members of the team for this winter program is he.
Luke Symington and Marley Simpson are two players who have been added solely for the training camp in Sri Lanka and will not accompany the main group to Pakistan. When the team gets to Rawalpindi, fast bowlers Charlie Taylor and Manny Lumsden will join it. Instead of following the regular squad itinerary, both will participate in separate development programs designed just for fast bowlers.
England U19s Men full squad for the Pakistan tour:
Farhan Ahmed, Subhaan Ali, Robbie Bowman, Tom Bradley, Thomas Edwards, Luke Hands, Theo Lamey, Manny Lumsden, Bertie Michael, Isaac Mohammad, Joe Moores, Jack Nelson, Leo Selvey-Clinton, Marley Simpson, Luke Symington, Charlie Taylor, Jeet Varaich, and Ralphie Albert (captain)
