Yorkshire’s KohlerCadmore is called-up

TOM KOHLER-CADMORE has been named in the England Lions 50-over squad for five games in Australia in early February.

The Yorkshire batsman is part of a 16-man squad that will play three matches against a Cricket Australia XI on the Gold Coast, followed by two games against a New South Wales XI at Sydney’s Drummoyne Oval.

Kohler-Cadmore, 25, is Yorkshire’s sole representative in the squad, with no Yorkshire player named in the Lions fourday squad that will contest three fixtures after the 50-over series.

The players leave the UK on January 21.

England Lions 50-over squad: Tom Abell (Somerset), Dom Bess (Somerset), James Bracey (Gloucestershire), Henry Brookes (Warwickshire), Brydon Carse (Durham), Mason Crane (Hampshire), Laurie Evans (Sussex), Richard Gleeson (Lancashire), Lewis Gregory (Somerset), Sam Hain (Warwickshire), Will Jacks (Surrey), Tom Kohler-Cadmore (Yorkshire), Dan Lawrence (Essex), Matt Milnes (Kent), Tom Moores (Nottinghamshire), Craig Overton (Somerset). England Lions four-day squad: Dom Bess (Somerset), James Bracey (Gloucestershire), Zak Crawley (Kent), Richard Gleeson (Lancashire), Lewis Gregory (Somerset), Sam Hain (Warwickshire), Keaton Jennings (Lancashire), Dan Lawrence (Essex), Saqib Mahmood (Lancashire), Sam Northeast (Hampshire), Craig Overton (Somerset), Ollie Robinson (Kent), Ollie Robinson (Sussex), Dominic Sibley (Warwickshire), Amar Virdi (Surrey).

Kohler-Cadmore has also given his backing to the new 100-ball tournament, The Hundred.

He said: “I think that it is only going to help the game – especially English cricket.

“When you have a certain amount of high standard overseas players coming over, just being able to learn from them is only going to help English youngsters, which, in turn, will make the international side stronger.”
