Parents: Mark and Helen Overton, Twin Brother: Craig Overton
Jamie Overton is a fast-bowling allrounder from England who has been on the national team’s radar since he was a teenager. Standing tall at 6 feet 5 inches, he bowls right-arm fast and can also hit the ball a long way with the bat. Injuries held him back for many years, so he had to wait until he was 28 to make his Test debut in 2022. He finally became a regular for England across all formats in 2024-25. Overton plays alongside his twin brother Craig, who is three minutes older. A move to Surrey helped his career take off, and he won three County Championship titles with them. He is known for bowling short, sharp spells and finishing innings with big hits in T20 cricket.
