Teenage fast bowler Eddie Jack has been “invited to practise” with England’s senior team ahead of the first Test against India after claiming four wickets for the Lions against India ‘A’ in the two four-day games, according to a report.

India begin their new World Test Championship cycle taking on England in a five-match series beginning with the first match at Headingley from June 20.

The Hampshire seamer, 19,  caught the selectors’ attention by dismissing India batter KL Rahul, who had scored a century in the first innings, during their drawn second unofficial Test in Northampton. Standing at 6-foot-4, Jack has “impressed” England Lions’s coaching group, including Andrew Flintoff, Mark Wood and Graeme Swann, The Times, London, reported.
