5 debutants in the month of July

#3 Toby Roland-Jones

Roland-Jones revelled on debut at The Oval

Unanimously the debutant of the month, Toby Roland-Jones had been in the fringes of Test selection for the past one year. He had been picked in the Test squad a year back but had to wait for an year to earn a debut cap and when he did, he made it count.

A nippy seamer who generates sharp seam movement, Roland-Jones made use of some dark cloud cover and gentle breeze to celebrate a memorable debut.

He had South Africa four down in no time at The Oval on his debut with all four to his name and grabbed one more to complete a five-wicket haul. He accounted for Dean Elgar, Heino Kuhn, Hashim Amla and Quinton de Kock in the first innings. In the second, he scalped two prised wickets off consecutive balls on the final day to trigger a collapse.
