STEEPLE Ashton cricketer James Vince has been included in England's provisional 30-man World Twenty20 squad in Bangladesh in March:

Hampshire’s Vince, 22, joins county colleagues Michael Carberry and Danny Briggs in the initial selection, with the final 15-man World Twenty20 squad due to be named after the three-match Twenty20 series in Australia finishes on February 2.

All-rounder Vince, who played for Warminster and Chippenham, agreed a three-year contract extension with Hampshire last summer.

The Wiltshire ace has also featured for the England U19s and was selected for the England Performance Programme and Lions squads in the winters of 2011 and 2012.
