Add playing in a position you have not started a game in for nearly two years and you understand the extent of Jamie Osborne's Test baptism.

The project was estimated to cost £530m when it was announced by the chancellor at the time, George Osborne, before being revised later that year to £888m.

Work to electrify railway lines running across the Pennines was given the go-ahead in 2022, more than 10 years after the scheme was first mooted by the then-Chancellor, George Osborne.

Osborne, a member of the soulful country-singing Brothers Osborne, also came out in 2021 — making him one of the few openly gay artists signed to a major label.

Again, it is a gamble: Osborne has never played there, but his versatility - he can also cover 15, 12 and 11 - has convinced Easterby that this is the best path to victory.
