AFTER a sparkling start to his Test career, Jamie Smith is already sizing up a run at next winter’s Ashes.
Smith was fast-tracked as the team’s new wicketkeeper-batter at the start of the summer, leapfrogging 100-cap veteran Jonny Bairstow and his own Surrey team-mate Ben Foakes, and made an outstanding first impression.
The 24-year-old was reliable with the gloves and striking with the bat, scoring a maiden hundred as well as three half-centuries to average 48.70 after six Tests against the West Indies and Sri Lanka.
