James Vince 'could still have a fantastic international career' claims ex-England coach

Former England assistant coach Paul Farbrace believes James Vince could still "have a fantastic international career", despite his previous struggles in Test cricket.

Vince has had two stints in the England Test team, first playing seven Tests in the summer of 2016 against Sri Lanka and Pakistan where he scored 212 runs at an average of 19.27. He was then recalled for the 2017-18 Ashes series and began with a score of 83 in the first Test in Brisbane, which remains his highest score to date.

However, he was axed again after just six Tests, having made 336 runs at 30.54 and has not pulled on the whites for England ever since. Despite having a career record of 548 runs at just 24.90 in Test cricket, Farbrace believes England should have "been a bit more patient with him and stuck with him".
