A nice way to make my debut, says Harry Gunrey

The left-armer can slow down the ball drastically and also possesses a variation of slow balls including a yorker, a length ball, swinging full toss which could beat the batsmen.
Gurney has also played 10 ODIs for England accounting for 11 wickets with best figures of 4-55 against Sri Lanka at Lord’s. He has also played 2 T20Is for England.
Gurney has taken 275 first-class wickets at an average of 28.81, including career-best figures of 6-25 against Lancashire in 2018. After getting the Man of the match award he looked in good mood.” It was a pitch that suited my cutter options, so a nice one to make my debut on. I work hard on my variations and on my yorker and it is nice to have them in tough situations, although I didn’t use it much tonight,” said Gurney.
