SOMERSET batsman Nick Compton has been named in England's Test squad to visit India this winter.

Compton, who has enjoyed an outstanding season with the Cidermen, joins the England set-up for the first time.

National selector Geoff Miller said: "Nick has performed well consistently for Somerset in county cricket this season, made big hundreds and shown that he has the temperament and the technique to play at a higher level."

The selectors have also named a 17-strong England Performance Programme squad, which will undertake a month-long tour of India from mid-November, and includes Somerset duo Craig Kieswetter and Jos Buttler.
