Its over. Ballance is in the T20 squad for England vs NZ. So too is Rankin.

Who is Rankin? I looked him up and I thought he was Irish.

He is. Another one of their finest poached by the boys next door. Noticed that his debut cap was given to him by fellow Irishman Morgan...

Credit to England and their setup that everyone wants to play for them. Wouldn't have been the case 15 years ago.
