After a training camp in Loughborough, England’s second string will arrive in Brisbane 10 days before the first Test at the Gabba on 23 November. Though they will play a three-day match against a Queensland XI, the trip has more of a training focus and accordingly the Lions bowlers will be expected to provide high-quality practice for the senior batsmen in the nets.
From there the Lions head to Western Australia, meaning they will be an internal flight away during the second Test in Adelaide, but on hand in Perth come the third. Coached by Andy Flower, they have five Twenty20 matches scheduled, the first two of which will be against the state’s second XI before taking on Perth Scorchers, the Big Bash League side, in the final three.
