A prolific batter for Essex, Tom Westley scored a century against the touring Australians during the 2015 Ashes series. He has a close bond with Essex teammate and former England captain Alastair Cook and lists Steve Waugh as his cricketing role model.
After a century for the England Lions against the touring South Africans, he earned a call-up to the England Test side for the third Test of the 2017 season, slotting straight in at No.3
Westley made 25 and 59 on debut against South Africa and looked assured at Test level.
