FOUR Somerset youngsters have been named in the ECB Young Lions squad for the upcoming tour of Bangladesh.
Kasey Aldridge, Lewis Goldsworthy, Tom Lammonby and Will Smeed are each part of the 15-man squad for a schedule which includes one T20, three one-day matches and two 'Tests'.
The quartet toured India as part of the squad before Christmas, and this time Lammonby will captain the team in the two Test matches.
Young Lions Head Coach Jon Lewis said: "As is always the case for any trip to the subcontinent we're expecting an extremely tough trip.
"Bangladesh are a force to reckoned with in their own conditions, as we've seen from when our senior side have travelled there. The subcontinent is always tricky, and we expect it to be incredibly hard.
