Onions helps Young Lions prepare for winter

By Luke Bidwell

Pace bowler Graham Onions has been passing on his expertise alongside two other Durham supremos ahead of the England Young Lions programme.

The squad, including Durham prospect Josh Coughlin, are preparing to fly out for a tour of Dubai before a trip to India in the New Year.

Their training has involved coaching by Paul Collingwood throughout the autumn and Onions was on hand to pass on invaluable advice last weekend.

The 34-year-old worked alongside Kent’s James Tredwell and Gloucestershire coach Richard Dawson as well as Durham 2nd XI coach Neil Killeen, who has worked with the ECB’s promising fast bowlers for several years.

Both Killeen & Collingwood will fly out with the squad, with the former working specifically with the fast bowlers.
