For matches against Sri Lanka 'A':
Four-day squad James Taylor (capt), Jonny Bairstow, Ravi Bopara, Scott Borthwick, Jack Brooks, Jade Dernbach, Alex Hales, James Harris, Craig Kieswetter, Stuart Meaker, Samit Patel, Joe Root.
One-day squad James Taylor (capt), Jonny Bairstow, Ravi Bopara, Scott Borthwick, Danny Briggs, Steven Finn, Alex Hales, James Harris, Stuart Meaker, Chris Nash, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes.
Some interesting and, IMO, puzzling selections.
Taylor as Captain shows how much the selectors rate him, and rightly so.
Has Borthwick moved ahead of Rashid in the leg-spinner stakes?
Jack Brooks' inclusion.
Steve Finn and Chris Woakes in the one-day squad, Jade Dernbach in the four-day?
Good to see Hales and Stokes called up.

Geoff Miller is hoping Taylor will become an opening batsman, which is why he opened for the Lions before and now again.
They would like to groom him to be a reserve for England. However he doesn't open for his county which surely is necessary.

This ain't it.

Oh I'm sorry. This site needs some work.
I was on the football page and clicked on England international.
silly me expecting football on a football page.
Perhaps Admin1 or 2 could fix this.
Is there football on the cricket page?
