England calls up Silverwood for Ashes series
16.11 IST   09th Nov 2002

By IndiaExpress Bureau

England has called up the pace bowler Chris Silverwood to their Ashes Test squad as a replacement for the injured Simon Jones.

Silverwood will fly out to Australia on Sunday. He will join the squad on Tuesday morning in Hobart where England are due to play a three-day match against Australia 'A' starting next Friday.

Chairman of Selectors, David Graveney, said: "We see Chris as a like-for-like replacement for Simon Jones. He has genuine pace, hits the deck hard and the conditions in Australia should suit his type of bowling.

Silverwood has won five Test caps for England, the last at Centurion Park in South Africa in 2000, and was a member of the England One-Day squad that toured Zimbabwe last autumn. He played a One-Day International against Australia at Lord's in 1997 but has not yet played a Test against Australia.
