Rehan Ahmed, Jordan Cox and Sonny Baker have been named in an England Lions squad that will shadow the senior side on the tour of Australia. From the 18-man Lions squad, Ahmed, wicketkeeper-batter Cox and pace bowler Baker appear most likely to provide reinforcements to the Ashes squad if needed. Coached by England legend Andrew Flintoff, the Lions squad also includes promising batting brothers from Somerset, James and Thomas Rew. Following the game against the England senior side, the Lions play a Cricket Australia XI, a Prime Minister's XI and Australia A. Separately, Rehan Ahmed's younger brother Farhan has been named captain of an England Under-19s squad to tour the Caribbean in October.
