Manny Lumsden Two rising teenage Hampshire stars have been called up to represent their country on the international stage.
Academy duo Manny Lumsden and Ben Mayes have been named in the England Men’s Under-19 squad for the upcoming Youth ODI series against Ireland and Bangladesh.
It marks a first England selection for Radley College all-rounder Lumsden, a seamer who has taken seven wickets in List A cricket, including best figures of 3-64. King Edward VI schooled Mayes has scored 228 runs at an average of 38, including a match-winning 62 not out against Derbyshire.
Both players are products of the Hampshire Academy system, having progressed through the pathway from an early age to the first team.
Charlie Freeston, head of player development and talent pathway at Hampshire Cricket, said: "It’s fantastic to see Manny rewarded with an England call-up, and for Ben to regain selection for the upcoming series and continue on his Young Lions journey.
"Manny has shown he can perform under pressure in senior cricket throughout this 1st XI MB50 competition and is an incredibly exciting cricketer, and one to watch.
"Ben has now played a number of very important innings in the MB50, and these are an example of his temperament and ability to influence big games."
Also in the England squad is Winchester College schooled Seb Morgan, who plays for Middlesex.
