England name 15-player U19 squad for Pakistan Youth ODI series

England have named a 15-player squad for the four-match Youth ODI series against Pakistan. Surrey's Ralphie Albert will captain the side. The opening match begins at Arundel Castle Cricket Club on September 9.

The series forms part of England's age-group programme ahead of next year's ICC Under-19 World Cup. Pakistan will field a side that recently toured Zimbabwe and features several players with senior domestic experience.

The remaining three matches will be played at the same venue. England have used the Arundel ground for age-group fixtures in recent seasons because of its reliable pitches and compact boundaries.
