Asa Tribe and Ben Kellaway: Glamorgan’s best chances of England cricketers in 20 years?

After starting the season outside Glamorgan’s first team, Tribe seized an opportunity to open the batting and has not looked back, scoring 731 County Championship runs at an average of 45.68.

“I thought there would be some growth after a hard winter, but I didn’t think the numbers would be as good as they’ve been,” Tribe told BBC Sport Wales.

In the One-Day Cup it was 401 runs at an average of 80.20, not bad for someone who hadn’t played cricket outside of Jersey until the age of 18.

The 21-year-old speaks fondly about his early years growing up in Jersey but says he “was ready to flee the nest”. Tribe credits the move to Cardiff for allowing him to turn childhood dreams into reality.

“I always felt that if I was going to take my cricket forward, I couldn’t do that on the Island.

“I come from an environment where (making it as a professional cricketer), it wasn’t even talked about and if you did mention it the attitude would be ‘you’re from Jersey those things don’t happen over here’.’Coming over here made me believe,” says the batter.
