England are set to hand a debut to wicketkeeper Jamie Smith at Lord’s.
England have named three uncapped players in their Test squad to face the West Indies in July, signalling the start of a new era for the team.The Surrey wicketkeeper-batter is the most striking pick, getting the nod ahead of the experienced Jonny Bairstow, county colleague Ben Foakes and Durham’s Ollie Robinson. At 23, he is still a developing talent but he has long been earmarked for the very top and made his ODI debut against Ireland last year.
Has a solid return of 59 wickets from his 19 first-class appearances but does not take the new ball for the Brown Caps and takes only one career five-for into the Test ranks.🙌 Dillon Pennington has earned his first senior England call up alongside Ben Duckett.Pennington is the least well known of the new arrivals but his name had been thrown into the mix by director of cricket Rob Key earlier this year, suggesting the selectors were interested.
