England A in West Indies, 2005-06

Trio earn England A call

Cricinfo staff

February 27, 2006

England A have called up Stuart Broad, Luke Wright and Ravi Bopara to bolster their squad after three players left to join the senior party in India. Alastair Cook, James Anderson and Owais Shah have left West Indies over the last couple of days, meaning England have used three substitutes in their match against West Indies.

Broad, 19, a promising right-arm seamer from Leicestershire, will provide cover for the fast bowling department. Wright, the Sussex allrounder, and Bopara from Essex, will provide useful all round options for the remaining matches of the tour.

Broad is the most exciting talent out of three with England always searching for tall pace bowlers. The son of the former England opener, Chris, he has taken 30 wickets in first-class cricket at 27.

The second Test starts in St Lucia on March 3 followed by a five-match one-day series.
