England’s bowlers are set to make a return to netting from next week, according to a report in the Daily Telegraph.

With England hoping to get their international summer underway in July, their bowlers are set to net individually at their county grounds in a bid to regain fitness after a prolonged spell without bowling. While no professional cricket is due to take place in England until at least July 1, England still hope to fulfil their original Test fixture list for the summer through July and August.

The report states that under the current plan, bowlers would perform two individual training sessions per week before batsmen return to training in early June. Last month, Chris Woakes said that bowlers would need at least two to three weeks to build up match fitness ahead of a potential first Test of the summer.
