(Reuters) -England's Jacob Bethell, Matthew Potts and Josh Tongue were picked to play a day-night warmup match against the Australian Prime Minister's XI in Canberra, the country's cricket board (ECB) said on Monday.

The three players did not feature in England's crushing eight-wicket defeat in Perth last week, a match that ended as the shortest Ashes test by overs bowled to produce a result since 1888.
