Laurie Evans lifts lid on life as a T20 star and the dilemmas facing England hopefuls

Surrey star Laurie Evans is one of the best uncapped T20 batters in England, having struck a total of 4,950 runs in 195 innings.

In fact, only two other players who have not played international cricket have scored more than him - Cameron Delport and Rikki Wessels. Remarkably, though, Evans did not become a regular on the T20 franchise circuit until after his 30th birthday.

He had always been a talented white-ball batter, having been named player of the match in the final of the 2014 T20 Blast after his half-century helped Warwickshire win the tournament, but it took a move to Sussex and the backing of captain Luke Wright to truly unlock Evans' full potential.
