Josh Tongue said it was a “dream come true” after the fast bowler was selected in England’s XI for the second Test against Australia at Lord’s starting Wednesday. “I’ve dreamt as a young kid growing up about playing in an Ashes series so to get the nod now is that dream come true.” Tongue took five wickets on debut against Ireland, his extra speed a point of difference on a docile pitch. “To then get five wickets against Ireland on my debut was an incredible feeling and should give me confidence ahead of another chance against Australia.” RELATED: Ashes 2023: Getting dropped is not something new for me, says Starc Tongue did spend the first two days of the match at Edgbaston in England’s dressing room before leaving to play for county side Worcestershire.
