Gus Atkinson: A Brief Biography
Born on January 19, 1998, in Chelsea, Middlesex, Angus Alexander Patrick Atkinson or Gus Atkinson is a tall right-arm fast-medium pacer who is a soaring star amongst the young pace battery. He represents Surrey in the domestic circuit and the English cricket team internationally and is considered one for the future of English cricket by cricket pundits.

His pace combined with accuracy makes him a hot cake, especially in the longest format of the game and it would not be too far ahead for him to crack the white-ball formats in the international arena.
