LIAM Dawson’s winter with England is moving on to the Caribbean after the all-rounder was named in the squad to tour the West Indies.

The Calne cricketer made his Test debut before Christmas in India and returned to the sub-continent in the new year for the limited overs matches.

While the Hampshire player did not feature in the one-day or Twenty20 games, Dawson will head out to the West Indies next month to begin preparations for the three-match series in Antigua and Barbados after England named an unchanged squad for the tour.

James Whitaker, national selector, said: “There is a huge emphasis on white ball cricket during the first half of 2017, as we continue our preparation ahead of this summer’s ICC Champions Trophy tournament in England.

“We felt it was important to keep faith with the squad that competed during the recent tour of India.

“The current group of players are making excellent progress under the captaincy of Eoin Morgan and head coach Trevor Bayliss and the tour of the Caribbean will enable the team to test themselves in different conditions against a competitive side in the West Indies.”
