Oxfordshire teenager Miles Hammond has been named in the England Under 19s’ squad for the winter tour of the United Arab Emirates.

The 17-year-old off-spinner, who lives in Oxford, is one of 18 players selected for a tri-series against Pakistan and the UAE in December.

Hammond, who plays for Gloucestershire and Aston Rowant, will be looking to shine to secure a place in England’s squad for the ICC Under 19 World Cup in February 2014, which is also in the UAE.
