This England cricketer has represented his country in three tests as a fast bowler. Throughout his career, the 29-year-old has been nursing injuries.

Also known as Olly Stone, the cricketer has claimed 150 wickets in 44 first-class matches. However, the lanky fast bowler made his Test debut against Ireland at Lord’s in 2019 and played his last Test match against New Zealand at Birmingham.

The only T20I that Stone featured in was against Pakistan in Karachi. He failed to pick up a wicket in the match.
