Sussex D40 batsman Alfie Pyle, who recently made his debut for the England Learning Disability XI, has become something of a hero on and off the field.

He lifted the Disability Premier League trophy with the England Hawks, after they beat the England Pirates in the final, live on Sky Sports, and has since become the first Lord's Taverners Super 1s participant to go from a hub setting, through the county system and onto England honours.

Pyle is now also putting something back into the system that helped him gain international recognition as a coach. "I am so happy that I'm doing the Lord's Taverners (Super 1s coaching).

"People are going to be looking up at me doing coaching. They'll want to be a coach like me, and I'm so happy that I'm coaching kids. One day

Congratulations, Alfie! #GOSBTS
