Liam may gatecrash the Ashes

- BY DEAN WILSON

LIAM LIVINGSTON­E has emerged as a potential late Ashes possibilit­y after impressing for Lancashire and the Lions this summer.

With 17 tour places – one more than usual – the hardhittin­g Livingston­e, James Vince and Gary Ballance are set to be the subject of much discussion when the selectors mull over thinlookin­g batting options.

The all-rounder batted at No.3 for most of the season, scoring 733 Division One runs at an average of 45.8.

Vince has 592 at 34.8, but played seven Tests and boss Trevor Bayliss made it clear they will pick from players already capped. Livingston­e cannot match that experience but has played T20 for England.
