Patterson-White tops the pecking order as England reassess spin stocks

Nottinghamshire left-arm spinner Liam Patterson-White has earned his first Test call-up for England's upcoming tour of South Africa next month. The selection follows an impressive domestic season where he topped the spin charts in County Championship Division One with 42 wickets at an average of 25.11.

Patterson-White outbowled veteran South Africa spinner Simon Harmer during a mid-June fixture at Chelmsford, claiming career-best figures of 9 for 109. Alongside his bowling success, he contributed 474 runs at 24.94 and took 16 catches across the season.
