Nottinghamshire’s Luke Wood has been named in a 14-man England Under 19 squad for a two-test series against South Africa Under 19 later in the summer.
The talented young left-arm seamer has impressed in Nottinghamshire’s Academy and Second Eleven, and was part of the Under 19s tour to face Pakistan and the UAE in the winter.
England will face South Africa in two test, the first will take place at Fenner’s on 1 August, before the second at Northampton on 7 August.
“This is a great opportunity to continue the progress made through-out the winter and to play against the current u19 World Champions,” said EDP Head Selector David Graveney.
“At this age-group level the sides tend to play more one-day cricket, so this is a real chance for both of the teams to hone their skills over the longer format of the game.
“Thanks must go to Yorkshire for helping us prepare for this series by providing an opposition for our practice game starting at Sleaford on July 29.”
