Has all the tools
With the Bears bowling ranks heavily depleted by injuries during the 2019 season, young swing bowler George received a surprise call-up to the first-team – and emphatically seized his opportunity.
In three championship games at the back end of the season, the former Shrewsbury School pupil bowled with intelligence and composure.
“George in particular has bowled superbly and thoroughly deserved his chance to step up to the first team.”
His performances revealed that he has the temperament, as well as the skills, to become a serious challenger for a long-term place in the attack.
Another product of the Bears’ increasingly productive player pathway, on which he developed from U14s, George has in recent years combined his cricket with his studies at the University of Birmingham.
His degree now safely banked, he is looking to put an injury-affected 2021 behind him and get among the wickets in the first team.
