Teenage Hampshire all-rounder Tom Prest has been picked to captain England in next month's ICC Under-19 World Cup in the Caribbean.
The 19-year old Canford educated top order batsman and emerging off-spin bowler will lead England in the qualifying round matches against defending champions Bangladesh, Canada and the UAE in St Kitts and, hopefully, into the Super Eights in Antigua. The tournament begins on January 16.
