TWO Worcestershire cricket stars have been named in squads to tour the Caribbean and Zimbabwe respectively.
Seam bowler Ben Allison has made the MCC squad for the first time the side have toured Zimbabwe in the modern era, while promising youngster Isaac Mohammed will play five Youth One-Day Internationals against West Indies and two Youth One-Day Internationals against United States in Saint Vincent, as part of the England Young Lions squad.
Allison is one of nine players in the 13-man travelling squad with first class and/or List A experience heading for Harare.
The side will play seven matches in a variety of formats across the fortnight there.
Speaking to the club, Allison said: "I am really excited to play abroad and travel to somewhere I have never been before – I am really keen to meet the group.
"The chance to play in a new environment and test myself around a new group is something I am relishing to be honest.
“It has been a great season at Worcestershire, so to have that form recognised is obviously very nice, hopefully I can continue that good rhythm over the next few weeks."
