BBC Points West: Young England off-spinner Bashir said he has experienced a surreal couple of months after making his Test debut on the tour of India earlier this year, which is something he will cherish for a long time.

Bashir will make his debut in the ongoing County Championship season for Somerset in their second match against Surrey, after taking 17 wickets in his first three Test matches for England, where he made his debut in the second game at Visakhapatnam.

"The winter's been quite the experience starting with the Lions out in Abu Dhabi on that two-week camp and then from there getting called up to play for your country. It's been such a surreal couple of months and one that I'll cherish for a long time."
