Darren Stevens named in Hong Kong Sixes squad

Kent all-rounder Darren Stevens has been named in the England squad for next month“s Hong Kong Sixes.

The star batsman, who was involved last year, has been named in a seven strong squad along with fellow all-rounders Rikki Clarke, Steven Croft and former Kent player Peter Trego for the popular two-day event in Kowloon from November 6 to 7.

Surrey captain Rory Hamilton-Brown will skipper the side while Sussex batsman Chris Nash and Somerset“s Jos Buttler complete the line-up.

Commenting on his selection, Stevens said: “I had a great trip last year so am delighted to be selected again. It was a great shame that we lost in the semi-final but it was still good fun. Hopefully we can enjoy another good tournament and perhaps go all the way this time.”

England will play Australia, South Africa and Hong Kong in the pool stage.
