Matt Carter (cricketer)

Matthew Carter (born 26 May 1996) is an English professional cricketer who plays for Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club.[1] He took figures of 10/195, including 7/56 in the first-innings, on his first-class cricket debut for Notts against Somserset on a turning pitch in June 2015.[2]

"from a tall classical action with flight, bite and composure, Carter returned the best figures by a spin bowler on Championship debut since Leicestershire's Jack Walsh claimed 7 for 46 against Northamptonshire in 1938"[3]
