DAW OPEN FOR SPIN ACE

Liam's England revival has Brook eyeing 'years' of success

- 

IAM Dawson is ready to embrace the unexpected revival of his England career, having spent the last three years learning to let it go.

Dawson's international CV has been more stop than start since he debuted in 2016, a frequent squad member who collected just 20 caps across all three formats before an abrupt halt seemingly saw the left-arm spinner consigned to the past.

As England searched far and wide for slow bowling solutions in red and white ball cricket, he quietly levelled up at Hampshire to become one of the most productive performers on the county circuit.

On Friday, the 35-year-old finally returned to the fold for Harry Brook’s first T20 as captain and gave his team mates a strong reminder of what they have been missing.
