Wakely in England squads despite injury scare
Northamptonshire youngster Alex Wakely has been named in the England under-19 one-day and Test squads despite the injury that threatens his place.
But Jack Manuel has been included in the squad for their two-Test series against New Zealand as cover for Wakely, who is doubtful with a hand injury.
Stuart Meaker, who already has U19 experience, has also been called up as a replacement for Ben Sanderson who has a broken finger. Sanderson will be reassessed before the second Test.
The two-match series begins in Taunton on Saturday with the second game starting on August 1 at New Road, Worcester.
The selectors also announced a 14-man squad for the ODI series which follows, and included Hamza Ramiuddin of Hampshire and James Harris of Glamorgan.
The one-dayers kick off with back-to-back matches in Canterbury on August 8 and 9 before heading further south to Hove for a floodlit match on August 11.
The tour will finish at Northampton with two televised live games on August 14 and 15.
Test squad Tom Westley (capt), William Beer, Ben Brown (wk), Liam Dawson, Luke Fletcher, James Goodman, Alex Hales, Daniel Redfern, Ben Sanderson, Ian Saxelby, James Taylor, Chris Woakes, Jack Manuel, Stuart Meaker, Alex Wakely.
