THREE Hampshire starlets have been included in the latest England Under-19s squad.

Highly-rated left-arm quick Tom Barber is joined by wicketkeeper-batsmen Tom Alsop and Lewis McManus in a 14-man squad for a tri-series against Bangladesh U19s and Pakistan U19s next month.

Barber and Alsop - who starred as a substitute against Lancashire two months ago - featured in England U19s' one-day international series in South Africa earlier this year. Academy keeper McManus is set to make his debut at U19 level.

Also included is Yorkshire’s 15-year-old pace bowler Matthew Fisher, who recently became the youngest player to feature in a competitive county match for more than a century when he played in a YB40 fixture against Gloucestershire.

ECB’s National Performance Manager David Graveney, who chairs the England Under 19s selection panel, said: “This tri-series will enable our best young players to test themselves against opposition who are well versed in both playing and bowling spin, and will also provide important preparation for the squad ahead of next winter’s ICC Under 19 World Cup in the UAE.

“We welcome Matthew Fisher and a number of other new players who have impressed in county second XI and first team cricket this summer.“ England Under 19s squad for Tri-Series: Ben Duckett (captain, Northamptonshire), Thomas Alsop (Hampshire), Tom Barber (Hampshire), Karl Carver (Yorkshire), Harry Finch (Sussex), Matthew Fisher (Yorkshire), Miles Hammond (Gloucestershire), Ryan Higgins (Middlesex), Lewis McManus (Hampshire), Will Rhodes (Yorkshire), Josh Shaw (Yorkshire), Dominic Sibley (Surrey), Jonny Tattersall (Yorkshire), Jack Winslade (Surrey).
