Billings named in England ODI squad
Wednesday 30th May 2018
Spitfires skipper Sam Billings is in England’s 14-man squad to play Scotland in a one-day international at The Grange in Edinburgh next month.
The wicketkeeper-batsman replaces Jos Buttler in the squad for the June 10 fixture before Buttler returns for a five-match Royal London ODI series later that month.

The 26-year-old is therefore available for the Specsavers County Championship home matches at Tunbridge Wells and Canterbury in June.
The captain is set to play at The Nevill Ground against Warwickshire (June 20-23) and the pink-ball match against Middlesex at The Spitfire Ground (June 25-28) but will miss the trip to Bristol to play Gloucestershire (June 9-12).
Billings could play his 14th ODI to become the joint eighth most capped Kent player in limited-overs international cricket.
