Walker won the Selborne Salver earlier this year and also reached the semi-finals of the Spanish amateur championship.

Their team-mates at Nairn will be Adam Chapman (Cumbria), Will Enefer (Shropshire), Harry Hall (Cornwall), Josh Hilleard (Somerset), Marco Penge (Sussex), Alfie Plant (Kent), Gian-Marco Petrozzi (Staffordshire), Ashton Turner (Lincolnshire) and Jack Yule (Norfolk).

England will be seeking to regain the Home Internationals title after a three-year gap, having last won at Ganton in 2013.

Brown and Walker are currently in Estonia, along with Yorkshire team-mates Jamie Bower (Meltham), Steve Robins (Hull), Will Whiteoak (Shipley) and Jonathan Thomson (Rotherham) competing in the European amateur championship at Estonian Golf & Country Club.
