Glamorgan spinner Mason Crane has joined county team-mate Asa Tribe in the England Lions squad playing three one-day matches against South Africa A.

Crane, 29, played his only Test in 2018 after two T20 internationals the previous year.

Opening batter Tribe recently featured in two Lions four-day games against the South African tourists, scoring a century in the first.

Crane and Tribe will join the Lions after Glamorgan's T20 Blast match at Somerset, missing the county's matches at Worcestershire and Lancashire before rejoining the squad for the Championship trip to Sussex on 11 June.

The Lions host South Africa A in Leicester on Friday, 5 June, before facing them twice in Worcester, on Sunday, 7 and Tuesday, 9 June (all 11:00 BST).
