LONDON, May 17: All-rounder Chris Lewis, out of favour with the England selectors since turning up late for a Test match two years ago, has been included in the 14-man squad for the One-Day series against South Africa.Lewis has had an uneasy relationship with the England hierarchy during an international career which has brought him 30 Test caps and 51 One-Day appearances.But David Graveney said today, when he became chairman of selectors he was determined that ``everyone would start with a clean slate.''
Lewis's Leicestershire team-mate Darren Maddy and Sussex's new captain Chris Adams, both batsmen, are the only new faces in the squad.
The first game of the three-match series is at the Oval in London on Thursday with the second and third games to be played at Old Trafford and Headingley on Saturday and Sunday.
The team: Adam Hollioake (Captain), Chris Adams, Alistair Brown, Robert Croft, Mark Ealham, Matthew Fleming, Angus Fraser, Ashley Giles, Darren Gough, Nick Knight, Chris Lewis, Darren Maddy,Alec Stewart & Graham Thorpe.
