England Lions

I praised the England Lions yesterday but are we somewhat missing the purpose of an A team.
If we look at the South Africa A team, they have a lot of burgeoning talent. Temba Bavuma is the only big name in there and that's because he is kicking his heels due to not being included in South Africa's ODI squad.
In contrast there are players with huge amounts of international experience doing the rounds in the England Lions squad. I know that Finn has now been called up but should he have even been in the squad? Surely we know what he's capable of. The same can be said of Dawson.
