James Rew is targeting a regular place in Somerset’s County Championship side next season following a hugely impressive breakthrough in red ball cricket.
The 18-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman marked his debut in the competition with two innings against Lancashire at Southport last week that saw him make 93 runs, face 246 balls and occupy the crease for a total of four hours and 41 minutes.
That after the young left-hander had gone in with Somerset in trouble at 105 for four in the first innings and 75 for four in the second.
