Jake Lintott is hoping to earn a spot in England 's T20 World Cup squad with another strong showing in The Hundred for defending champions Southern Brave.
Lintott was the Brave's wildcard pick last year and ended the tournament as their leading wicket taker. Having been dubbed "the Jamie Vardy of cricket" by his Birmingham Bears captain Carlos Brathwaite, Lintott has enjoyed a similar rise to the top.
The left-arm wristspinner did not sign his first full-time professional contract until he was 27 and balanced a job as head of cricket at Queen's College Taunton with brief stints at several counties.
