“Early in the season we only picked one
or two of our young fast bowlers, but at
the halfway point we started to select all
of them and just said ‘go for it’,” said
Mick Newell.
“Jake, in the last 18 months - starting in
white ball cricket and now with the red
ball as well - has developed into a seamer
with genuine pace and good skills.
“Luke also has good skills and the way
he swings the ball from left-arm over is
challenging for batsmen.There are little
things he can improve upon when it
doesn’t swing but, at such a young age,

His ten-for against Durham was a fantastic
performance for which he deserves huge
credit.”
Matthew Carter, the 19-year-old off-
spinner who took ten wickets on first
class debut against Somerset - along with
Coaching Consultant Peter Moores -
has also committed to the Club for a two-
year period.
