Sussex all-rounder James Coles has been handed his first England call-up for next month\u2019s T20 series against India.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The highly-rated 22-year-old hit the headlines earlier this yr when he attracted the very best bid on the inaugural Hundred player auction \u2013 banking a \u00a3390,000 cope with London Spirit.<\/p>\n

A left-arm spinner who has been batting in the highest three for his county on this yr\u2019s Vitality Blast, Coles is a three-dimensional white-ball option who recently featured for Andrew Flintoff\u2019s England Lions against South Africa.<\/p>\n

Coles is an element of an expanded 17-strong squad for the five-match series, which begins in Durham just two days after the scheduled end of the third Test against Recent Zealand at Trent Bridge. <\/p>\n

Exciting addition<\/h2>\n

With six of the T20 squad also involved in that game, England may have to rotate more heavily to administer workloads.<\/p>\n

\u201cJames Coles is an exciting addition and has earned his place following his performances with the England Lions and in T20 competitions here and abroad in the course of the past 12 months,\u201d said national selector Marcus North.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow we have chosen a bigger squad to accommodate for the proven fact that this series will begin shortly after the Test series against Recent Zealand is because of conclude which allows us to be flexible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jordan Cox and Sonny Baker are named having made their Test debuts together in last week\u2019s defeat on the Kia Oval.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Saqid Mahmood regains his place having last featured against India in January.<\/p>\n
