After that, a young English team will travel to Ireland for a three -match T20I series in Dublin on 17, 19 and 21 September.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star Jacob Bethel has been appointed as captain for the series against the Irish team, and at the age of 21, he is ready to become the youngest England captain of England in international cricket history.
In addition, Hampshire’s Pacer Sunny Baker has received his first England call-up for England Lions and after his impressive performance during the Vitality Blast and The Handy.
Pacer Mark Wood is not included in the White-Ball Squad as he continues his recovery after knee surgery, and speedster Gass Etkinson has also been rested. Young leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed has been called back after his impressive performance, and Phil Salat has also made a withdrawal.
In particular, full-power squads have been named for matches against South Africa, while all-format players except Jacob Bethel are rested for the Ireland series, where Marcus will do head coach duty compared to the traskothic Brendon McCullum.
Jacob Bethel has impressed with his leadership qualities – Luke Wright
In an official statement issued by the ECB, selector Luke Wright said Jacob Bethel had good leadership properties and Sunny Baker was entitled to call-up after his frequent performance. He said:
“Jacob Bethel has influenced his leadership qualities since he has been with England’s squads and the series against Ireland will give him an opportunity to further develop those skills on the international stage.
“Sunny is a player we have recognized for some time and was impressive during the last winter England Lions Tours. He has carried on that form with Hampshire and Manchester Original in White-Ball cricket this season and gets his opportunity.”
