Three Surrey players have been selected for England's Test tour of South Africa in December and January.
Fast bowler Gus Atkinson, wicketkeeper-batsman Jamie Smith and batsman Dan Lawrence are included in a 15-man squad.
Lawrence is currently captaining the England Lions in a 50-over series against West Indies while Atkinson will be involved in an ODI series against Australia before returning for a short rest in advance of the South Africa tour.
Essex seamer Sam Cook features in the main squad, having been preferred to Surrey's Matt Fisher – who played against New Zealand at the Kia Oval last June – while Jordan Cox's successes both sides of the stumps, deputising for Smith when he suffered a finger injury, has squeezed Ollie Pope out of the reckoning.
