    Rew, 18, to captain England Lions in West Indies

    BBC Sport ·

    Thomas Rew, 18, has been named captain of England Lions for their three T20 matches against West Indies A in St Kitts and Nevis in November. He is expected to become the youngest Lions captain, adding to a rapid rise that includes his first senior call-up and an England developmental contract.

    Rew led England Under-19s to the World Cup final and scored his first two first-class hundreds for Somerset this summer. He, Hampshire seamer Eddie Jack and Sussex all-rounder James Coles will travel from the Lions tour to join England’s T20 series in Australia. Dan Lawrence will captain the Lions in five subsequent one-day matches against West Indies A, with Sam Cook also using the tour to prepare for England’s Tests in South Africa.

    • Thomas Rew, 18, will captain England Lions in three T20s.
