Haseeb Hameed, the 19-year-old teenager who is making his debut against Bangladesh in the Test series which begins tomorrow, was an 8-year-old child when Batty last played a Test.

The teenager who is often compared to England legend Geoffrey Boycott has had a spectacular breakthrough season for Lancashire in the Specsavers Championship scoring 1129 runs at an average of 54.

If Hameed makes his Test debut in the series against Bangladesh, he will join the select band of five others to have played Test cricket for England while still in their teens.
