He seems to be quite a prospect. 111 in 76 balls against Ireland U19 today along with two wickets. What do we know about him?

Not a particularly good Ireland side tbf Warwickshire under 18s beat them the other week Theo Wylie took 7 wickets.

He's apparently switched from seam bowling to off breaks fairly recently and is tall left arm orthodox (a young Ashley Giles perhaps???). What a switch though. Plays for Shifnal in the Birmingham League and came through Shrewsbury as a youngster so has probably played a few games for Salop.

Great signs for Warks if we can get him and Tazeem Ali (a more unorthodox young leg spinner) as a tandem and curate some dust bowls down at Edgbaston in 2027 ish

Fairly sure he has played for Shropshire recently yes. He started off in Staffordshire CCC pathway before joining us at under 14 level. Very new to spin bowling (this season I think?), very much seen as a strong white ball player at the moment.
