Market Deeping youngster tipped for an England call-up

He bagged three wickets in a single over on his way to a personal best return of 4-21 in a semi-final win over Lancashire and then conceded just 15 runs in four overs in a final success over favourites Sussex.

His county captain, England all-rounder Moeen Ali, immediately tipped Brown to win an England cap, while current Test star Jimmy Anderson described Brown as ‘the find of the tournament.’

Moeen said: “I wouldn’t be surprised if Patrick gets something in the winter. I can see him getting an international chance in T20 or one-day matches.”

Anderson said: “Pat Brown is the find of the tournament. It’s a phenomenal effort for a 20 year-old. He had a good tournament but to come to Finals Day, when the pressure is on and show such amazing maturity, was superb. He looks as good as anyone I have seen in T20 cricket. He has got all the skills.”

Brown is studying for a degree in business management while playing for Worcestershire. He played for Deeping in the Lincs Premier Division before joining the first-class county’s academy.

“I might have to tell them I’ll be missing a few lectures,” Brown said. “T20 Finals Day is a good platform to get noticed and hopefully I have.”

Cricketers can get rich quickly playing T20 cricket with popular leagues taking place all over the world, all year round.
