Eddie Jack

So some of the talent that we've played against in the last couple of years coming through.

So even the crop that have just come through, Ben Mays, Manny Lumsden, Eddie Jack, to see them.

to play against them and then them to kick on in their careers is great.

And they won it a couple of years ago as well.

Um, he's a serious, serious, uh, operator and Surrey have snapped him up, so...

Uh, another name I wanna, uh, pick out is Eddie Jack.

So he has been part...

With me and, uh, Butch, we spoke a little bit about, uh, Thomas Roux.

Uh, but the other name that's kind of quite interesting on the England T20 tour of Australia is Eddie Jack because he's- he's not played any 100 cricket.

His- his-

I think that's right.

Um, is that an unusual selection or is this just England going long term? We've got time here, and let's just see how these guys are around the group.

How much forward planning do you do? So I looked at the, the T20 squad.

Someone like Eddie Jack, for example.

Even in Australia, you've got the, the T20 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

It's, he's potentially someone that could go on and play test cricket in an Ashes Series, in example.

England's centrally contracted players, Joe Root, uh, of Yorkshire, Harry Brook, Rehan Ahmed, Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Sonny Baker, Tom Banton, Shoaib Bashir, Jacob Bethel, Jos Butler, Brydon Carse, Sam Cook, Jordan Cox, Henry Crocombe, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson, Ben Duckett, Emilio Gaye, Matt Fisher, Will Jacks, Dan Lawrence, Saqib Mahmood, James Overton, Ollie Pope, Matthew Potts, Adil Rashid, Ollie Robinson, Phil Salt, Jamie Smith, and Josh Tongue.

And the England development contracted players are James Coles, Mason, Mason Crane, Josh Hull, Eddie Jack, Ben McKinney, Liam Patterson-White, and Thomas Roux, and also Matthew Revis and Mitch Stanley.

There's quite a lot to work out there.

Um, it seems- Is it over-complicated? I don't know.

But shortly after that, they head back down under for three ODIs and five T20s against the Aussies just nine months on from that headline-grabbing Ashes.

The squad selected by North features returns for Jacob Bethel and Jofra Archer, as well as the first call-ups for youngsters quick bowler Eddie Jack and wicketkeeper-batter Thomas Roux, just 18 years old.

So plenty to discuss, but firstly, hello to Stefan.

Hello to Marcus.

So, you know, like I said, it's just we're literally, what, 24, 48 hours after, after surgery.

So we need a little bit of time to go before our medical team will have a, a better understanding of, of the kind of recovery and rehab period.

What about the, uh, I- I suppose the exciting new faces in the squad, Marcus? Eddie Jack, Thomas Roux getting their first call-ups.

T- talk to us about those players.
