Doran and Bell were two of Tasmania’s finest in the Sheffield Shield before the BBL break, with Doran scoring 305 runs at 38.95 and Bell taking 18 wickets at 21.66.
They have already faced England in tour matches earlier this summer for the CA XI during the Ashes series.

Brad Haddin will coach the side with Glenn McGrath his assistant.

“This is a quality opportunity for all players involved, and hopefully this side will give England a good test ahead of the series against Australia.” Australia’s five-match series against England will start in Melbourne on Sunday, January 14.
