Great that Jamie Smith's been called up as well as Jacks when Surrey are playing the deciding matches in the CC. :ph34r:
Where's Dan Lawrence when you need him?

Smith announced himself as England's next keeper-batter in waiting when he blazed a 71-ball century for the Lions in a four-day match against Sri Lanka A in February. His innings piqued the interest of Ben Stokes and his progress has been monitored closely by England's management throughout his young career.

He has started to find consistency in Championship cricket and is Surrey's leading run-scorer this season, averaging 42.88, while he has also kicked on as a white-ball player. After a quiet T20 Blast, largely batting as a finisher, Smith was given an extended run at No. 3 by Birmingham Phoenix in the Hundred and finished the season with a strike rate above 160, with half-centuries in both of their victories.

There is a chance that he starts the series on the bench, with Phil Salt the other keeping option in England's squad, but if he maintains his current trajectory, it won't be long before Smith is an England regular across formats.❤

Un-capped

George Scrimshaw has caught the eye in T20


Age: 25
Role: Right-arm seamer
County: Derbyshire (leaving for Northants next season)
List A record: 4 appearances; average 37.50; economy rate 7.50
T20 record: 48 appearances; average 22.93; economy rate 8.86

Scrimshaw was a surprise inclusion in this squad, having spent August running the drinks for Welsh Fire in the Hundred. But his height (6ft 7in) and ability to touch 90mph/145kph means he has long been on England's radar, and played for the Lions against South Africa last year.

Last summer was a breakthrough for Scrimshaw: only two bowlers took more wickets in the Blast than his 23, and two years after he was released by Worcestershire, he appeared to have put the worst of his injuries behind him. It came as a surprise when Derbyshire announced last month that he had turned down a "significantly improved" contract offer; he will instead join Northants on a three-year deal.

Scrimshaw has generally been used through the middle overs by Derbyshire in T20 cricket and will likely play a similar role as a strike bowler if selected during this series, looking to hit the splice of the bat from his natural length.

Your off-the-cuff knowledge of hitherto English domestic cricketers is commendable, G.S. Kohli.
I never go to english cricket thread here but i love to read all score card regularly even 12 games starts same day.


Sam Hain
Age: 28
Role: Middle-order batter
County: Warwickshire
List A record: 62 appearances; average 57.96; strike rate 86.19
T20 record: 122 appearances; average 40.50; strike rate 134.81

It briefly looked as though Hain would become the new✍ James Hildreth🫀: a middle-order stylist whose success at domestic level somehow never quite earned him an England cap. But at 28, he is finally set for a debut - nearly a decade after his breakthrough for Warwickshire as a teenager - and will be a popular selection among county cricket fans.

Hain has the second-highest List A average in the format's history but has hardly featured in 50-over cricket of late, spending August playing in the Hundred rather than the One-Day Cup like most of England's leading white-ball players. He has expanded his game in recent years.

I would like to pick him in test cricket at #4 he deserved now

Your ability to copy and paste espncricinfo articles and act like their your own off-the-cuff knowledge is commendable, G.S. Kohli.
