Following news of their selection for the forthcoming tour to Australia by the England Lions, Ben Kellaway and Asa Tribe are set to become the fifteenth and sixteenth Glamorgan players respectively to appear for England A / England Lions in first-class cricket either on an overseas tour or in the UK against an international touring team or in the traditional curtain-raiser to the domestic season against the Champion County.
