Selectors Mike Newell and Angus Fraser gave no hints to Sky Sports News HQ about the players that would be included on Thursday, but it was emphasised that both county divisions were being scouted for English talent. Newell, Nottinghamshire director of cricket, said: There has not been any Test cricket for several months, so we wanted to see lots of four-day cricket in Division One and Division Two and look at the players who will come under consideration and have a long debate about that.I think its our job to look at all of the cricket. Obviously our teams are Division One so we spend a reasonable amount of time there but we also go and watch Division Two cricket when our teams arent playing or when we get a chance to go.Theres a lot of good young players in Division Two, playing some good cricket, particularly in the batting group. Forget Bell Ian Bell England recall unnecessary says Nasser Hussain Everybodys in there with a chance of playing and I think its important we give everybody consideration.There has been plenty of debate on how England should line-up, with many players from the second tier impressing, including Alastair Cooks Essex team-mate Tom Westley and Kents Daniel Bell-Drummond.Fraser, Middlesex director of cricket, added: The Test series in South Africa finished in January and we are now in April so theres been three months without Test cricket and some good white ball performances.So there has been plenty of speculation and plenty of conversation in our meetings.

Wales flanker Justin Tipuric expects South Africa to be pretty pumped up for Saturdays clash at the Principality Stadium.The Springboks have arrived in Cardiff for their final game of a dismal year that has seen them suffer seven defeats.The sorry chapter includes a home loss to Ireland, an historic first defeat against Italy, a 37-point drubbing by England and a record home reversal against world champions New Zealand, while they were also beaten in Argentina.Such a sequence has cranked up the pressure on head coach Allister Coetzee, while South African Rugby Union president Mark Alexander issued a strongly-worded statement immediately following defeat by Italy in Florence when he talked about deeply worrying aspects of the performances in 2016.While Wales are seeking a third successive win against all opponents - albeit a week after substitute Sam Davies drop-goal got them out of jail against Japan - they have only toppled South Africa twice in 31 previous meetings.It is a massive game against South Africa, Tipuric said. They will be pretty pumped up this weekend. They are a wounded animal at the minute and are coming under a lot of pressure at home. They will be coming here and fighting for everything.There is pressure in any international game. If we win this weekend it will equal the most successful autumn campaign ever (for Wales), but itt wont be easy.dddddddddddd We know we have to go out there and perform.If Tipuric is involved on Saturday, then he will be braced for South Africas inevitable physical onslaught, which is unlikely to vary from their tried and tested script despite injuries sidelining key performers like Eben Etzebeth, Francois Louw and possibly Willem Alberts.They look like they are trying to beef up the pack even more, which is hard to do when you are that big! Tipuric added. Francois Louw was a big loss for them and (Marcell) Coetzee too, but they have some really good back-rowers in reserve.Wales have come in for some fierce flak during an autumn campaign that began with them suffering a heaviest home defeat for 10 years when Australia triumphed 32-8, before narrow victories were achieved against Argentina and Japan, although the latter result posed way more questions than it provided answers.We are trying to get the ball a little bit wider, but it has to be at the right time and in the right areas, Tipuric said. It takes time. We have been used to a system for a long time now, and were going through a process and trying to get everyone on the same page. Hopefully, it doesnt take much longer to get used to. We are getting there. ' ' '
