Aneurin Donald

His breakthrough came in 2016, when, aged only 18, he took the Derbyshire attack apart with an innings of 234 from 136 deliveries. The performance matched the record for the quickest double century in first-class cricket, and remarkably it was also the first Championship hundred of his career. Donald brought up each of his three milestones, 100, 150 and 200, with a six, a detail that says plenty about his attacking instincts and the flair and potential he carries.

Before that, in 2015, Donald was entrusted with leadership at international youth level, sharing the captaincy of the England Under 19 side with a fellow player. His time in an England shirt did not bring the same level of success he has enjoyed in the domestic game.

Cricket runs in the family. His great uncle, Bernard Hedges, was a long-serving Glamorgan player who turned out in 422 matches for the county between 1950 and 1967.
