Pace bowler Matthew Potts has been called up to England’s one-day squad for the first time for next week’s series against South Africa.
The Durham seamer has shot to prominence this summer following a host of injuries, playing all four Tests so far and taking 18 wickets at 26.72.
Now, despite just 10 List A appearances at domestic level, the 23-year-old has been handed his chance to take on the Proteas.
England, who face India in a series decider at Emirates Old Trafford on Sunday, begin their next Royal London series just 48 hours later at Potts’ home ground of Chester-le-Street and he will be in contention to make a debut.
