Buck in England ODI and T20 squad

Date: Monday 13 July 2009

Nathan Buck is in the England under 19s ODI squad to face Bangladesh in a series that begins at Grace Road on Saturday.

The young seamer is in line to appear on his home ground for the first time with the team for back-to-back matches this weekend. Buck has also made the Twenty20 squad for two matches that will be played after the ODI series has finished.

Buck is currently playing in the second England under 19s test against Bangladesh, with Josh Cobb and James Taylor not selected for the game as they were in action for County against Middlesex when the game got underway yesterday.

The duo are also not in the ODI or Twenty20 squad. The selectors may have picked their group looking ahead to the next World Cup, and County also have their Pro40 opener on Sunday at Northamptonshire Steelbacks, where the pair could feature.
