Now with continued investment by CWI in our players, we want to see the same kind of progress on this trip to South Africa,” Haynes said.

The panel also outlined that with the overlap between the England Men’s white-ball tour of the West Indies and this tour, the squad was picked with the development of players’ red-ball skills in mind.
