The then-Worcestershire paceman’s rapid rise brought an England debut and Ashes involvement.
Josh Tongue still marvels at his “crazy summer” last year but the swiftness of his rise and injury setbacks along the way have taught the England fast bowler not to look too far ahead.
Josh Tongue, centre, dismissed David Warner and Steve Smith in both innings in last year’s Lord’s Ashes Test “I don’t really look into the future at all,” he told the PA news agency. “Last summer, I didn’t think I would have ever played for England and then all of a sudden, I had the phone call and I was selected.
Having handed Tongue a two-year central contract, England are likely to be keeping a close eye on him, with the first Test of the summer not starting until July 10 against the West Indies at Lord’s. “Every team likes having fast bowlers, they’ve got a point of difference, especially when there’s not much going out there and you need someone that bowls 85-90mph to change the game.”

A review found that many of the existing centres were not suitable due to poor layout and limited space. The proposed changes aim to create larger sites that do not cause traffic problems and do not need to be closed when waste containers are moved. These alterations would save £1.7m per year and enhance the service for residents. The council is yet to decide on the locations for the new sites.
