England's last-minute switch lands Matthew Fisher's family £5,000 from 10-year-old bet

Matthew Fisher will make his England debut in Barbados. Craig Overton couldn't play due to illness. Fisher's parents and brothers can collect £5000 from a bet they placed with the bookies. He was the youngest player to play in a competitive county match at just 15. His late dad Phil passed away from bowel cancer when he was 14. He has modelled his bowling action on Jimmy Anderson. The England captain Joe Root won the toss and elected to bat. Mark Wood and Ollie Robinson were considered unfit for the match. Saqib Mahmood received an England Test cap in the presentation.
