DUBAI, (Reuters) – Somerset wicketkeeper-batsman Craig Kieswetter has been added to England’s one-day squad for this month’s tour to Bangladesh.
The South African-born player completed his four-year qualification process earlier this week, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on its website (www.ecb.co.uk) yesterday.
Kieswetter, 22, caught the eye of the selectors by hitting 81 in the England Lions’ Twenty20 victory over the senior England team in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
He will become the 16th member of the senior squad for three one-day matches against Bangladesh.
