So England have soooooooo many young players of promise, I thought it would be fun to select a team for the future from the younglings:
Hamid
Gubbins
Davies
Root
Livingstone
Pope+
Curran
Overton
Curran
Stone
Virdi
-
Hain!! How can you leave out Hain 🤦🏻♂️
-
Max holden looks pretty promising,
Harry Brooks is also class
Hameed has been dropped by lancs I heard so he seems to have completely forgotten how to bat!
-
Get that Hameed to another county (and away from his coaches / father!) and let him start again.
He’s too good to ignore, he’s a test quality player for goodness sake!
-
OK, how about this XI, all currency under 24 (I think)
Hameed
Rhodes
Brook
Holden
Clarke
Pope
S Curran
Fisher
Brookes
Virdi
Mahmood (or Pennington)
-
I have no idea why people are picking someone in a county second team as their great new hope...
Having said that I think Hameed should follow Che Pujara's approach. Reinvent himself as a number three.
Given his technique is pretty solid the suggestion he moves county is a good one. He is clearly going backwards where he is.
-
Interesting isn't it?
I guess the fact that we've all seen him make runs in a range of styles in tough Test conditions blinds us to the horrible mess his technique has become since?
-
The question is - why did he change anything?
-
He broke his finger and got told his hands were too low.
But has anyone see Che bat recently...
Just get better gloves. (Sorry GN lovers!)

Who told him his hands were too low?

Don't forget Dan Lawrence at Essex and Jack Burnham, who is back from a drugs ban this season.

Dom bess

Daniel Bell-Drummond be interesting to see how he goes in Div1
-
Jofra Archer is 23...
I reckon the best bit about the next generation of potential England players is that there's a good few top 3/4 bats around who've had domestic success over the past season or two - Rhodes, Sibley, Duckett, Brook, Clarke, Livingstone, Bracey, Holden, I'm sure there's more I'm missing. Given that's where the test side has tended to be short, there's bound to be opportunities for some of them over the next couple of years.
-
Strange how I associate Archer with the test squad already...
-
Zac Crawley at Kent is another super talented young player.
-
Tome Banton is one for the future as well, he is especially destructive in the shorter formats.

He banged runs in their 2nd XI in the longer form will be good to see how he goes this year cause he had some exciting innings last year
