Four new faces for CW XI
Test and ODI squads named
Neil Pickup will lead the Cricket Web XI on its second tour of England, with the plane due to depart CWLand tomorrow morning. He leads a team of 15 for the 4-Test series, with the ODI squad set to number 15 with several specialists arriving midtour.
The team contains five specialist batsmen, three wicketkeeper-batsmen, one allrounder, four fast bowlers and two spinners. Names such as Kearsley and Camps have been overlooked in favour of new blood, with no less than four uncapped players numbered in the squad.
Dan Smith, having been given leadership roles at Cricket Web Black and Cricket Web 'A', receives his first international call-up. One of the more ruthless leaders in the country, Smith will look to further state his batting credentials and press for a Test spot. Joining Smith on the fringe of the team is Shan Jasotharan. The aggressive wicketkeeper will expectedly serve as a batsman, picked on the merit of some sparkling career-high form.
In the bowling department, Greg Thomas and Dave Watt have been discarded, whilst Adam Collins receives a much-deserved call. Consistently one of the best bowlers in the country, Collins has never been flashy with his left-arm medium pace. Still, he will hope to impact with whatever opportunity he receives. Much the opposite, Nick Borcich is tearaway quick with an aggressive streak. With both and ball he takes the game to the opposition, and moves ever closer to a Test call.
For the shorter form of the game, Håkon Mørk jr., Shan Jasotharan, Pete Young, David Kennett, Thamba Mamesh, Adam Collins, Nick Borcich, Dan Smith, Travis Demeza and Mike Wilson return home. In place come Ash Chaulk, Liam Camps jr., James Steman, Kev Gough, Kingsley Clapham, Xavier Rose, Ian Markus, Alex Crampton, Dave Watt and Sean Fuller.
Test squad:
NS Pickup (c), H Mørk (wk), S Jasotharan (wk), T Mamesh (wk), PE Young, CR Butler, RJ Dauth, MW Wilson, DM Kennett, TJ Demeza, AA Collins, NA Borcich, TC Halsey, AP Cloete, DP Smith
