Always a player with a clear talent, it was not until after his 30th birthday that Laurie Evans began to gain worldwide recognition as a white-ball batsman of real class. Primarily a finisher for the most part of his limited-overs career, Evans batted with maturity and poise at No. 3 for Sussex in the 2018 T20 Blast and finished as the tournament's leading run-scorer, opening up opportunities in the Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Caribbean Premier Leagues as well as the Pakistan Super League over the next 12 months.
