Matthew Potts named in Wisden’s Under-24 T20 Blast team of the tournament

Right-arm quick Matthew Potts has been named in Wisden’s Under-24 T20 Blast team of the tournament, named alongside some of the most talented young cricketers in the English game.

The right-armer was Durham’s joint leading wicket taker in the Blast, taking 13 wickets in 10 matches, at an average of 18.07.

Potts was a key part of Durham’s late season revival, taking three consecutive career best hauls over Leicestershire, Yorkshire and Lancashire.

His second over against Lancashire Lightning saw him rip through their top order to put Durham in complete control. Second ball he had Steven Croft caught for nought, fourth ball he trapped Dane Villas LBW for zero, before removing Rob Jones off stump for a duck. Claiming career best match figures of 3/8 from 3 overs.

He was named man of the match against Yorkshire at Headingley where he picked up figures of 3/14 from 3, dismissing Adam Lyth and Harry Brook as well as bowling the world’s number one T20 batsman Dawid Malan for a golden duck.

Eight counties are represented in the Under 24 team of the year, which was selected on the full tournament up to the final. To qualify for the team, players had to be aged 23 or under on August 27, 2020, the day the tournament began.
