When Josh Tongue joined up with England for the first time at the start of this week, he found his name misspelled on some of his shiny new kit.
A product, perhaps, of his late call-up as cover for the injured James Anderson and Ollie Robinson, but an error that most on the outside would deem understandable. Tongue’s a name with which plenty of those arriving at Lord’s on Thursday for the first Test of the summer will have been unfamiliar even 48 hours earlier.
