Biography

Matthew Potts is another Durham academy graduate coming through the ranks and making it to the first XI. Potts has also played for England Under-19 and his breakthrough season came in 2017 when he made his first-class debut against Kent.

A right-arm medium pacer and more than useful bat lower down, Potts is looked as one of the brightest upcoming talents in Durham. Potts had nine slips in place in his debut game as Durham looked for a win, but they fell short by one wicket and the match was drawn.

In his brief career, Potts has impressed with both bat and ball. Apart from claiming 15 first-class wickets in six games, the right-hander also has a fifty to his name. Surely Durham expect bigger things from him.
