Adam Ball was drafted into England's Under-19 World Cup squad in January 2010, after Calum Haggett was forced to withdraw through injury. An aggressive left-arm quick and a useful lower-order batsman, Ball models his style on Mitchell Johnson, although as an up-and-coming allrounder, Andrew Flintoff is his favourite player. In 2009, he was named as Young Player of the Year in the Kent League, and he is also a useful footballer, playing for Arsenal's academy side from Under-9 to Under-12 level.
