One lucky punter who believed 14 years ago that Josh Tongue would one day play for England and placed a cheeky bet will win £50,000 ($95,500) when the fast bowler makes his international debut against Ireland.
Tim Piper had watched Tongue play when he was just an 11-year-old and placed a £100 bet at odds of 500-1 that he would play a Test match for England in the future.
