So the English cricket team is already in Australia where they’re preparing for what will truly be a gruelling Ashes test series. And to prepare themselves for the 2021/22 Ashes series, they’ve got the England Lions or the England A team also touring Australia, and we have the first of those 3-day tour games all set to take place between 23-25 November at the Peter Burge Oval in Brisbane.
The full strength England red ball side will take on a collection of some of the better performing county players from across the country. The 14-man Lions squad will give some good practice to the main squad, and we’d recommend you pick those first who have had international experience in the past.

Numbers
- Tom Abell – only 76 runs in last 8 FC innings.
- Ben Stokes – last played professional cricket in Jul 2021.
England
It’ll be an important game for Ben Stokes who is part of the 17-man Ashes 2021/22 squad after he last played in The Hundred before going on an indefinite break from cricket. After only 47 runs in 6 games in the T20 World Cup in UAE, not many will pick Jonny Bairstow in their ENG vs EN-A fantasy teams and that’s an opportunity there for you, as he usually relishes the chance to play red-ball cricket as well.
With scores of 33, 78 and 34 in his last three FC innings, Dan Lawrence has been in decent touch and will be looking to get some runs in this game so as to better his chances of making the playing XI, so we’re picking him in our ENG vs EN-A Dream11 team as well. With Anderson/Broad/Wood/Woakes in the side, it’s going to be a fight for Ollie Robinson to make the main team, so we think he’s got some things to prove as well.
England Lions
Tom Abell has been good in white ball cricket and in franchise leagues but it’s been a while since he’s got a score in the longer format, so we’re leaving him out of our team today. On the other hand, former U-19 captain Harry Brook got a century for Yorkshire in September this year and we think he’ll be among the runs. Pick him as an x-factor player as he was brought in only after Dom Sibley pulled out of the squad.

With the ball, we think Saqib Mahmood has to be the first name on the team sheet because he’s played a fair bit for the senior side and has played a few franchise leagues as well, so brings a lot of experience to this game. Matt Parkinson has two 3-fers and two 4-fers in his last 4 FC games and is in great rhythm so should make our PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) ENG vs EN-A fantasy team as well.
