He returned figures of 5/101 in the first innings, and is believed to be the youngest-ever player to take five wickets in a County Championship match.[15] He made his [List A](/source/List_A_cricket) debut in a [Royal London One-Day Cup](/source/Royal_London_One-Day_Cup) match against Northamptonshire at The Oval on Thursday 27 July 2015.
