Sussex cricketer 12th man for England's second Test victory against India

Oxley, 19, is a left-arm chinaman bowler and has played for Sussex’s 2nd XI this year. He was called up by England to help the squad prepare for India’s Kuldeep Yadav, who is a similar bowler.

The Sussex and Horsham cricketer, who is from Worthing, described his feelings of being called up, and sharing the changing room with the England stars.

He said: “It was pretty amazing. Obviously the players that were there I’ve watched on TV and looked up to ever since I was a kid, so it was pretty surreal.

“I was definitely overwhelmed on the first day and when I arrived I was very nervous. The fact the first day was rained off gave me a chance to speak to the players and ease my way into it which probably helped, everyone was pretty awesome to me.

“I knew Sam Curran and Ollie Pope from playing with age groups a year older. It made it easier and Ollie made his debut, so it was nice to share that with him.”

Oxley added: “I’m going to try and get up to Trent Bridge where the next Test is to do some net bowling and then we’ll see what happens. I’d love to do it again.”
