Andy Donley hears from James Anderson on how two of his young Lancs team-mates can make an impression for England
HASEEB Hameed and Liam Livingstone would “definitely”make welcome additions to the England Ashes touring party, according to Lancashire teammate Jimmy Anderson.
Uncertainty in the England batting line-up has left a host of County hopefuls dreaming of a strong finish to the Championship season and a potential Ashes call-up this winter.
Livingstone, who made his England debut in the South Africa t20 series earlier this year, threw his name into the ring for a Test spot with a buccaneering double hundred against Warwickshire last week.
Meanwhile, Hameed has had a difficult domestic season, struggling to rekindle the form that led to him making an impressive Test debut in India last year, where he scored two fifties in three matches.
And Anderson – who came into the third Test against the West Indies three wickets shy of becoming the first Englishman to 500 scalps – believes both could make an impression Down Under.
“They’re being thought of and they’re highly regarded as well, I know that for a fact,” he told TCP.
“Haseeb has played Test matches, Liam has been in the England side this year in the t20s – for them, it’s about getting as many runs as possible before the end of the season.
