The elevation of teenager Thomas Rew to Lions captain is a further sign of the high regard he is held in by the England hierarchy and follows him being given his first senior call-up and central contract.
Eighteen-year-old Thomas Rew has been named England Lions captain for three T20s against West Indies A in St Kitts and Nevis this November. The wicketkeeper-batter is expected to become the youngest captain in Lions history, skippering a squad that features his older brother, James Rew. The appointment follows a significant week for Thomas Rew, who also earned his maiden senior England call-up for an upcoming T20 series in Australia and received a developmental contract.
Following the T20 series, Dan Lawrence will captain the Lions in five one-day matches, joined by seamer Sam Cook as preparation for England's Test tour of South Africa. Former England batter Jonathan Trott will coach the Lions following Andrew Flintoff's departure.
