In December, 2023, he was picked to tour India following just six first-class appearances and ten wickets, but his potential was obvious to see and he didn’t let his supporters down. Two five-wicket hauls in three matches, allied to his ability and temperament, saw him installed as England’s No.1 spinner throughout the summer of 2024 and the selection paid off handsomely at Trent Bridge against the West Indies when he spun his team to victory with figures of 5 for 41, which at the age of 20 made him the youngest England Test cricketer to claim a five-wicket haul at home, beating Anderson’s record.
