Notts spinner and Academy graduate Farhan Ahmed will don the Three Lions once again after being selected to represent England Men U19s on their multi-format tour of South Africa.
After a warm-up match against Western Province on 14 January, the Young Lions and South Africa U19s will contest a five-match red and white-ball series from Friday 17 January, starting with three YODI matches followed by two Youth Tests - the tour ending on 6 February in Cape Town.
Ahmed is one of 18 in the squad - captained by Somerset's Archie Vaughan - having made his Under-19s debut in last year's ICC Men's U19 Cricket World Cup.
Ahmed also has three Youth Test caps to his name, producing 4/59 against Sri Lanka in his most prolific spell.
