England's five new T20 recruits: All you need to know

#1 Liam Livingstone

A flamboyant big hitter, Liam Livingstone is already a hit in the media

Widely touted to make it into the national team, Liam Livingstone has put in exemplary performances for the England Lions and Lancashire. Well known for a mesmeric 350 off 138 balls for his club Nantwich in 2015, the knock is believed to be one of the highest individual scores in an official accepted limited overs match, although it wouldn't count as List A.

With a high backlift reminiscent of AB de Villiers in his youth, Livingstone packs quite a punch with his attractive stroke play. Capable of scoring all around the wicket, the Lancashire batsman has emerged as a hard hitter with a penchant for big scores. His T20 numbers are rather mediocre but he has been picked more on talent than numbers.
