THE Overton twins, Craig and Jamie, are among four Somerset players included in the England Lions squad for the upcoming tour of the UAE.
The 24-year-old seamers are joined by their county teammates Dom Bess and Lewis Gregory, with the latter joining the squad for the 50-over and T20 matches.
A Lions call-up completes a good day for Craig Overton, who earlier took a hat-trick as Somerset completed victory against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge.
