England opener Zak Crawley opens up about "worst summer I've ever had"

England opener Zak Crawley believes he has turned a corner after enduring a poor run of form with the bat that he describes as "probably the worst summer I've ever had".

While England enjoyed great success under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum, Crawley struggled for runs at the top of the order. The 24-year-old scored 276 at an average of just 23, including seven single figure scores in 13 innings.

He also managed just 467 runs at 27.47 for Kent in the County Championship. However, the summer did end on a much more positive note, with Crawley hitting an unbeaten 69 in England's win over South Africa at the Oval and 79 in his final innings for Kent as they secured Division One survival.
