Rankin Makes England Debut



 Northern Irish cricketer Boyd Rankin made his England debut during the T20 match against New Zealand at the Oval yesterday. The Londonderry born bowler has played 52 times for Ireland but decided to switch allegiances with the hope of representing England at test cricket.

 In his first over Rankin claimed the wicket of New Zealand opener James Franklin, with Jos Buttler claiming the catch. In the end he finished with figures of 1-24 off his four overs. Rankin’s performance however was not enough to help England to victory as they fell five runs short of New Zealand’s total of 201-4.
