Tribe is one of two Glamorgan players to be selected for the tour, alongside Ben Kellaway. <\/p>\n
The Jerseyman found out about the news on Friday – although he said it took him a while to work out if the call from England Lions coach Andrew Flintoff was genuine after a series of missed calls between the two.<\/p>\n
“I had to check, because I didn’t have the number saved, so I had to check that it was definitely Freddie, and that took a couple of goes before I recognised his voice.<\/p>\n
“Then I was mightily stoked and really happy to get that phone call because I spoke to Ben Kellaway at lunchtime, and in the morning he found out so I found out a bit later on but very, very happy.<\/p>\n
“My mum and dad were present with me when I made the phone call,” he added.<\/p>\n
“He phoned me at 11 and I was on the field, so I didn’t see that I’d had a missed call until the end of play.<\/p>\n
“Then I tried phoning him back, he didn’t pick up, he then phoned me back and I didn’t pick up – so it was the fourth call that we had between each other that he picked up and mum and dad were listening, I had it on in the speaker in the car, so they were very happy.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tribe is one of two Glamorgan players to be selected for the tour, alongside Ben Kellaway.
