    Coming into an England Test side who were without a win in eight games, Sam Curran received his Test cap in the second Test of the series against Pakistan at Leeds. Stepping into a bowling attack featuring Jimmy Anderson, Stuart Broad and Chris Woakes, the then-19-year-old took a wicket in each innings as England romped to victory by an innings and 55 runs. It was the first of his three international debuts, and the all-rounder now has over 160 caps for England and counting.
