Playing my first senior cricket
Favourite local player:In football it used to be Nicky Woodrow but now he’s retired it’s Jack Britton (both Hakin United)
In cricket it would be Ross Hardy (Neyland) and Ian Milsom (Herbrandston); I can’t pick between them.
Favourite top sportsman:
Marcus Rashford and Ben Stokes; both absolutely amazing talents and make the sport thrilling for fans and get you on the edge of your seats.
Andrew Salter as I would love to follow in his footsteps with Glamorgan, because I love going to watch them alongside Manchester United and Hakin United seniors.

I just want to make my parents and grandparents and coaches proud of me.
