"I'm suddenly on the oldies side of the net" - Tom Prest on being pushed to new levels by Hampshire's emerging teenagers.

Prest has suddenly found himself on the 'oldies' side of the net for Hampshire's football tennis warm-ups - but the best is still to come from him. Dave Vokes/Hampshire Cricket

Tom Prest finds himself at a Worcester hotel in the middle of an August heatwave and there's an issue.

"It's 32 degrees and there's no air-conditioning - I'm stood in front of a fan so apologies if there's some background noise," he says, laughing.

Prest is no stranger to feeling the heat.

Since making a triple hundred for Hampshire's Second XI against Sussex at the age of just 18 and just hours after sitting a geography A Level, his progress has been followed as closely as any other English batter.
