England A cricket team
Encyclopedia
The England Lions cricket team is a cricket
team representing England and Wales
. It is the "second-tier" of international English cricket below the full England cricket team, and is largely intended as a way for promising young cricketers to gain experience of playing international cricket. Although primarily intended as a touring team, for several years in the 1990s they played one match in England at the start of each season: between 1992 and 1995 against the previous season's county champion
and in 1996 and 1997 against a Rest of England team. England A also played two List A games against the full Sri Lankan
touring side in England in 1991.
Although an "England B" side had played one game against the Pakistanis
in 1982 and had made a full tour of Sri Lanka
in 1985/86, the first tour by a team named "England A" was to Zimbabwe
in 1989/90, and consisted of three first-class
matches and three 50-over
games. On this occasion England A played against the full Zimbabwe
side, but on subsequent tours their most important opponents have usually been the equivalent A teams of the countries they have been touring. However, England A has never played a match against their Australian
counterparts.
They also often play matches against state or provincial sides, and in 2000/01 England A participated in the Busta Cup, the West Indian domestic first-class competition, finishing in third place out of the eight teams taking part. In 2003/04 England A took part in India
's Duleep Trophy
competition, but failed to progress beyond the group stages after losing both their matches. There were no England A matches played in the period between these two tours.
The newly rebranded England Lions was then integrated with the ECB National Academy
, with touring parties taken from the Academy squad. On 15 June 2007, it was announced by the ECB (English & Welsh Cricket Board) the inaugural Lions side would play a one-day touring warm-up match against the West Indies at Worcester
. Later in the summer against the touring Indians
the Lions drew a 3 day match at Chelmsford
. and had a one day match abandoned due to rain at Northampton
.
