Bashley (Rydal) left-arm pace bowler Tom Barber has celebrated a new two-year Middlesex county contract by selection for England’s International Pathway Pace Programme.
The Programme will be led by one-time Hampshire pace bowler Kevin Shine, the ECB's lead fast-bowling coach, and he will be assisted by Matt Mason, the Worcestershire assistant and fast bowling coach.
In addition to the opportunity for warm-weather training in South Africa early next year at the High Performance Institute for Sport at North West University's Potchefstroom campus, Barber and several other the bowlers will also make two trips to the Desert Springs resort in southern Spain.
After splitting their time between their counties and the Loughborough Performance Centre through October and November, the Pace Programme will head for Spain from December 9-14, and again from February 27 - March 3, after their return from South Africa.
Barber played twice for Middlesex in this summer’s NatWest T20 Blast, producing a fiery spell under the gaze of the Sky Sports television cameras against Hampshire at Lord’s.
Havant and Hampshire 2nd XI off-spinner Brad Taylor will spend the winter in Wellington, receiving specialist coaching from Jeetan Patel of Warwickshire and New Zealand, and training with the Wellington Firebirds, in addition to playing club cricket in the Ewan Chatfield Trophy.
David Parsons, the ECB's Performance Director, explained: "By exposing talented young players to an unsupported, unstructured cricket programme in a challenging overseas environment, the aim of Overseas Placements is to develop the skills and also independence required to be a successful international cricketer."
