All were among the training squad of 55 named in May, from which teams to represent England in all formats this season are to be selected.

Gleeson missed out on the Test squad for the current series against West Indies but always stood a better chance of his first international cap in one of the shorter formats.

The series in Southampton starts on July 30, with further matches on August 1 and 4.

The squad of 24 will go into camp at the Ageas Bowl next Thursday, will live and train on-site and will play in-house warm-up games on July 21 and 24.
