Jamie Smith Grateful To Brendon Mccullum For Launching His England Career

By AFP News September 18, 2024 • 07:41 AM View: 53

England wicketkeeper Jamie Smith aims to emulate Brendon McCullum's playing style after the New Zealander gave him his chance in both Test and one-day international (ODI) cricket this season.

It was McCullum, the head coach of England's red-ball side, who took the bold decision to install Smith as the Test team's wicketkeeper at the start of the home summer, with the 24-year-old leapfrogging the far more experienced duo of Ben Foakes and Jonny Bairstow into the role.
