Josh Tongue says it will be a ‘dream come true’ when he makes a shock England Test debut at Lord’s, a ground he has never played at before.
Tongue will slip on the England whites for the first time against Ireland this week after impressing enough on tour with the Lions and then in the nets to leapfrog Chris Woakes into the Test side.
Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum have made the call to have a look at the 25-year-old Worcestershire seamer even though he was originally only called up to the squad as cover for the injured Ollie Robinson.
