Glamorgan Academy player Henry Hurle has been named in a 16-player England Men Under-19s squad for the upcoming Youth One-Day Internationals against Ireland and Australia.
Hurle is a hard-hitting wicketkeeper-batsman playing for Cardiff Cricket Club. He made Wales National County debut this year and has represented Glamorgan 2nd XI and was part of the 2nd XI Finals Day squad that finished as runners-up in the T20 competition.
For Cardiff CC, Monmouth School and Wales U18s this year, Hurle has been in fine form, scoring 981 runs in 23 innings at an average of 49.05.
Young Lions Head Coach, Mike Yardy, said: “It’s an exciting six months for the Young Lions starting with a home series against Australia followed by a tour to India and a World Cup in January.
“We toured Australia last winter and it is great to be able for us to compete with them again this summer. There are several new faces in this squad which will add to that excitement in having the opportunity to play against their peers from down under.”
