Mascarenhas leads Sixes side

Dimitri Mascarenhas has been named captain of England's Hong Kong Sixes team for the two-day tournament in November. He was overlooked for both the one-day and Twenty20 sides to play in India and the Stanford Super Series despite his domestic success.

Graham Napier, who hit 152 against Sussex in the Twenty20, is also included in a strong seven-man team. Ed Joyce will probably act as the wicketkeeper, while all the other players can perform with bat and ball.

The tournament will be held at the Kowloon Cricket Club on November 8 and 9. The event will again include an All-Stars team, who were beaten in last year's final by Sri Lanka.
