Stefan Pichowski has been named in the 15-man England Deaf cricket squad for the trip to Australia next month.

The 34-year-old batsman and slow left arm bowler (pictured) plays for Hythe and has also had spells with The Mote and Ashford.

He has won several England honours, and was in the squad for the last Ashes contest two years ago which ended in a draw.

He is also no stranger to Australia, having played club cricket in Sydney.

England play one Test, two one-day internationals and three Twenty20 matches as part of a Tri-Series against Australia and South Africa.

The final is due to take place on Thursday, January 27.
