Will Bennison and Matthew Firbank have both been named in the England U19 squad for their upcoming YODI vs Ireland and the YODI series vs Bangladesh.<\/p>\n
Bennison who scored a century when he captained a Young Lions Invitational XI against India Men U19\u2019s in June, is one of six uncapped players in the squad.<\/p>\n
The Yorkshire Pathway product has churned out significant runs in 2025 including 106 for the Yorkshire 2nd XI vs Hampshire in July.<\/p>\n
Bowler Firbank, who made his professional debut alongside Bennison in the recent Metro Bank One Day Cup victory at Kent, already has one England U19 cap and will be looking to add to that with the first YODI starting tomorrow \u2013 Tuesday 2nd September at Loughborough.<\/p>\n
Jamie Feldman (Middlesex), Luke Hands (Lancashire), Joe Hawkins (Derbyshire), Manny Lumsden (Hampshire) and Jack Nelson (Middlesex) have also received their maiden call ups to what is an 18-player squad.<\/p>\n
Kent batter Ben Dawkins will captain the Young Lions for the first time in the one-off YODI against Ireland, before Thomas Rew is set to join the squad for the Bangladesh series.<\/p>\n
Ben Mayes (Hampshire), Sebatian Morgan (Middlesex) and Rew (Somerset) are set to join the squad later in the week due to playing commitments with their respective Professional County Cricket Clubs.<\/p>\n
Alex Green (Leicestershire) also features after an impressive Metro Bank One-Day Cup, during which his 18 wickets are the joint most in this year\u2019s men\u2019s competition.<\/p>\n
