No update on that but few Eng Lion players Subject to Fitness standard.

Bethell and Rew are both currently playing grade cricket in Australia, and will rejoin the Under-19s squad for this month's two Youth Tests in Australia before joining the Lions ODI squad.

If there was any doubt that Bazball influence would spread! Looks like they went out and slogged for a declaration at 67 overs on Day 1...

It's not an especially serious game by the looks of things, with Sri Lanka using 10 bowlers for mostly one spell each, in what appears to be at least a 16 man team.

Also Ollie Robinson is playing, and according to Cricinfo that's the familiar, test match bowling Ollie Robinson, but he didn't bowl so I think it's more likely to be other, Kent wicketkeeping Ollie Robinson.

I guess SL A team probably same as vs Aus A in 2022.

Lions already 116-0 after 21 overs in response. Love how the whole squads are buying into the new brand of First Class Cricket, will be really interesting to see how the Counties play come April time.
