West End Redbacks batsman Jake Lehmann will lead a Cricket Australia XI squad which also features South Australian teammate Lloyd Pope in a four-day clash with the England Lions in Hobart.

Lehmann played in two 50-over matches against the Lions at Metricon Stadium earlier this month, scoring 32 in the opening contest.

The Lions chased down the Cricket Australia XI in both matches with a scheduled third clash abandoned without a ball bowled.

Young leg-spinner Pope has been added for the first four-day clash between the two squads.

Pope, 20, claimed 10 wickets in eight matches for KFC BBL|09 Championship winners the Sydney Sixers, although did not feature in the tournament final.

The four-day clash begins on Saturday, 15 February at Blundstone Arena.
