Sam Billings (BF 04)
SAM Billings has been named in England's 15-man squad for the ICC World T20 in India writes David Rimmer.
The 24-year-old Haileyburian who plays for Kent has already played five T20 internationals for England. In this helter skelter version of cricket he has scored a half century for England as well as taking five catches and claiming a stumping. He has impressed observers with his improvisations and is a neat wicket-keeper but will probably be number two behind Lancashire’s Jos Buttler for this tournament.
The Old Haileyburian has a very quick eye and is able to adapt to the needs of this short form of the game. Billings will miss the start of the Kent season to play in the Indian Premier League after being signed by the Delhi Daredevils at the weekend. He has been playing for Islamabad United in the inaugural Pakistan Super League competition in Dubai, where he recently starred for England Lions in their five-match ODI series defeat against Pakistan A.
Billings is due to go to South Africa later this month (February) to join the England party for the two-T20 series against the Proteas. He has been given permission by Kent to play in the group stage of the IPL - which starts in April - but must return to England for the opening NatWest T20 Blast match against Somerset on May 20.
England’s campaign begins on March 16 against West Indies with South Africa, Sri Lanka and a qualifier their other opponents in the group stage. ECB selector, James Whitaker, said: “The limited-overs cricket played in the last eight months has been incredibly exciting to watch and these players deserve the honour of representing England at a global event. "We have made significant progress during recent series with plenty more to come over the next few years."
England ICC World T20 squad: Eoin Morgan, Moeen Ali, Sam Billings, Jos Buttler, Liam Dawson, Steven Finn, Alex Hales, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, Reece Topley, James Vince, David Willey.
