England’s national selectors have named an experienced XI that will represent England Lions in a four-day match against India A starting on July 16 in Worcester.
Over half of the side (Alastair Cook, Dawid Malan, Chris Woakes, Sam Curran, Dom Bess, Jack Leach) have represented their country at Test level.

If selected in England’s third ODI at Headingley on Tuesday July 17, Surrey’s Sam Curran will miss the Lions match and a replacement will be called up. The captain will be announced on the morning of the match.
