ECB reveals batsman will ‘work on his batting at home’Yorkshire’s Harry Brook called up for trip to AustraliaDom Sibley has pulled out of
England Lions’ upcoming trip to Australia, in effect ending his Ashes hopes. Yorkshire’s Harry Brook has been called up as a replacement, with Sibley to “work on his batting at home”.
Warwickshire batsman Sibley played 22 Tests for England before being dropped for the third Test against
India in August, but the opener was handed a lifeline when he was invited on tour with the second-string Lions squad. Sibley, who averages 28.94 in his England career but 19.77 since the start of 2021, has now chosen to stay in the
UK.
