Jonny, who was also a talented football and a rugby player as a youngster, later began to concentrate solely on cricket. His breakthrough into the England side was also not straight-forward. He made his test debut in 2012, but he had to wait three more years to become a regular in the side. He was one of the prime beneficiaries of England’s revamp in 2015, and has been hugely influential in England’s success in limited over cricket.
