There are certain moments that can help shape a young cricketer’s career. 

For Manny Lumsden, a T20 clash with Surrey earlier this month, could prove to be one of them. 

The 18-year-old was entrusted with the final over of a high scoring match, with stand-in skipper Chris Wood, throwing him the ball with the hosts needing 22 to pull off a last-ditch heist in the fading London sunshine.  

“As soon as we got to the middle of the 18th over, I realised I hadn't been told I was bowling the next over,” says Lumsden.
