England Name Summer Squad

England have named the thirty players who will form their line ups during the busy 2013 period, where they will take on New Zealand in a two match series, as well as the ICC Champions Trophy, and oh, also a back to back Ashes Series with Australia....

Paceman James Harris, who was called into the limited overs squad during the winter, will get another chance to get near to the squad, more likely in the ICC Champions Trophy, whilst there is also a welcome return for 2010 Ashes Hero, Chris Tremlett.

Other than that, there is little else of surprises in the 30 man squad, as England look to manage a very heavy workload this year.
