Kent spinner James Tredwell is in line to win his first England cap after being selected for the tour to Bangladesh on Monday morning.

Tredwell, 27, has been part of the England squad for the tour to South Africa but with two spinners likely to play in the Tests against Bangladesh, he will be hoping to get the nod.

Tredwell said: “I’m delighted to be going to Bangladesh with England. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip to South Africa but going to Bangladesh may give me be a better chance of getting a game because conditions might suit playing two spinners. We have a strong squad and I’m very much looking forward to my first tour to Bangladesh.”

It will be a busy time for Tredwell, pictured, who is also named in the one-day squad for the tour to United Arab Emirates and Bangladesh.

Kent team-mate Joe Denly, who was overlooked as a Test opener with former Kent bat Michael Carberry gaining selection, is named in the one-day party.

Denly said: “I’m delighted to be back in the England squad. I’m really pleased with being selected and cannot wait to get back out there with my international team-mates. It will be good to have James (Tredwell) out there and I’m sure the tour will go well for both me and England.”

England play three one-day internationals between February 28 and March 5 in Bangladesh and two Tests, in Mirpur from March 12 and Chittagong from March 20.

National selector Geoff Miller said: "James Tredwell and Michael Carberry have continued to impress the selectors over the course of the winter and we expect both players to make a strong challenge for inclusion in our starting line-up on the forthcoming tour."
