Lewis Gregory (Somerset) will captain the 17 man squad for the duration of the four week tour which comprises two four-day Test matches and a five match one-day international series.
Six members of the squad, Adam Ball (Kent), Daniel Bell- Drummond (Kent), Matthew Dunn (Surrey), Lewis Gregory, Ateeq Javid (Warwickshire) and Adam Rossington (Middlesex) have all represented England U19 previously including against Sri Lanka U19 during the summer.
Tim Boon, England Development Programme head coach, said: “We have selected a balanced squad with a combination of players with U19 and first class experience as well as younger players. This tour provides an excellent opportunity for the players to test themselves in different conditions and against tough opposition and develop many of the skills needed to thrive in international cricket.”
