DORSET\u2019S Eddie Jack and the New Forest\u2019s Ben Mayes have received England call ups for upcoming tours.<\/p>\n
Bowler Jack will head to Australia with the England Lions, while batter Mayes will travel to the West Indies with the U19s.<\/p>\n
Jack will be a part of Andrew Flintoff\u2019s squad that heads down under alongside the senior Ashes squad.<\/p>\n
It is not his first time in a Lions squad, having featured against India A this summer, and claiming the wickets of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Nitish Kumar Reddy, KL Rahul, and Dhruv Jurel.<\/p>\n

The Lions will play matches in Perth, Canberra and Brisbane, facing the senior side in a warmup game ahead of the first Ashes test, before a four-day match against a Cricket Australia XI at Lilac Hill.<\/p>\n
They will then take on a Prime Minister\u2019s XI in a two-day day-night game in Canberra and they will finish their tour with a four-day match against Australia A in Brisbane, at the same time as the second Ashes test.<\/p>\n
Head coach Flintoff said: \u201cThere are some unbelievably talented players in this squad, and this is a fantastic opportunity for them to go to Australia, excel in the conditions, and thrive against quality players. At the same time, these players will get a sense of what an away Ashes series is all about.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur coaching staff is looking forward to working with them to embrace that opportunity and help to build the experiences and skills that will benefit their careers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayes, meanwhile, will head to the West Indies for seven one day games against both their hosts and the United States.<\/p>\n
The Lyndhurst and Ashurst batter impressed in the One Day Cup this season, marking his debut with a half century, before playing in the quarterfinal, semifinal and final of the T20 Blast.<\/p>\n
The seven games in St Vincent will be played between Thursday, November 13 and Monday, December 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DORSET\u2019S Eddie Jack and the New Forest\u2019s Ben Mayes have received England call ups for upcoming tours.
