Glamorgan coach Richard Dawson has had the chance to monitor his young guns’ progress at close quarters as part of the England Lions’ staff himself.<\/p>\n
“They’ve had a really interesting winter with that Lions trip to Australia, a great experience in different conditions against good cricketers and seeing international cricket close up with the England squad,” said Dawson.<\/p>\n
“Asa then played franchise cricket in South Africa, but they’re still learning their game and they’re keen to keep on improving.”<\/p>\n
England may have had a penchant for left-field selections such as Jacob Bethell and Shoaib Bashir without a consistent county record, with varying degrees of success, but Dawson is a believer in the importance of those county statistics. <\/p>\n
“As a player, you’ve got to get runs and wickets and people sit up and take note. If you’re doing it in a winning side, people sit up a bit more so that’s my job. But people will pick squads how they see fit,” he said. <\/p>\n
“Some seasons you might have 10 or 12 players going for one [England] spot so you’ve got to be the one that stands out. Asa and Ben played well and went on Lions tours.” <\/p>\n
While international recognition for Tribe or Kellaway this summer would leave a hole in a Glamorgan side already facing fierce challenges, it would end an embarrassing drought for the county in producing players for a higher level. <\/p>\n
