England Lions In Australia

The lions are touring down under early part of this year, I've only just seen the group going:

Joe Root (Yorkshire, captain)
Gary Ballance (Yorkshire)
Scott Borthwick (Durham)
Danny Briggs (Hampshire)
Varun Chopra (Warwickshire)
Matthew Coles (Kent)
Ben Foakes (Essex)
Alex Hales (Nottinghamshire)
James Harris (Middlesex)
Simon Kerrigan (Lancashire)
Toby Roland-Jones (Middlesex)
Ben Stokes (Durham)
James Taylor (Nottinghamshire)
Reece Topley (Essex)
James Vince (Hampshire)
Chris Wright (Warwickshire)

Should be good experience for the boys and is interesting to see Root as captain, maybe a sign for the future?

Good tours for some of these players could see them return to the International scene i.e Taylor, Stokes and Briggs. Also a mate of mine has told me to keep an eye on Foakes, says he will be something special.

Fixtures:
February 7: Victoria 2nd XI, Junction Oval
February 11: Victoria, Junction Oval
February 13: Victoria, MCG
February 16: Australia A, Blundstone Arena
February 18: Australia A, Blundstone Arena
February 22: Australia A, Blundstone Arena
