It has been a busy week for Jamie Overton. From Sunday to Wednesday, he was involved in an excellent Championship match at Taunton, in which he concussed two opponents — one of them his twin brother — bowling on day one, then was at the crease as his Surrey team secured victory late on day four.
Yesterday, he left his phone in his car while shopping and returned to a message from Brendon McCullum, asking him to call back. When he did, he was informed he had received his first Test call-up, to face New Zealand at Headingley next Thursday.
