Matthew Potts' "amazing" start to his England career is a "testament to the county game"

Matthew Potts has enjoyed a dream start to his England career, taking 18 wickets at an average of 26.72 in four Tests against New Zealand and India.

The 23-year-old was a somewhat surprise pick, but got his opportunity due to an injury crisis among England's fast bowlers and some stunning performances for Durham in the County Championship.

Potts picked up 35 wickets at 18.57 before making his debut and has continued his excellent form on the international stage. And Alex Lees, who is Potts' teammate with both Durham and England, believes the seamer's success is "a testament to the county game".
