Matt Fisher is hoping to make his England debt after getting his first senior call-up for their tour of the West Indies and, if that dream becomes a reality, his family are set for a major windfall.
Back when he was 14, his mother and brothers bet £100 on him to one day play for England and, having been given odds of 50-1, they stand to earn £5,000 if he makes his Test debut in the Caribbean.
After being informed about the secret family bet, Fisher told the Daily Mail : "Oh, wow! I'd heard a rumour that something had gone on but I didn’t know the details. That’s amazing."
