Former England World Cup-winning fast bowler Liam Plunkett added another remarkable chapter to his sporting career by making his professional baseball debut for the Oakland Ballers against the Yuba-Sutter Freebirds in the Pioneer Baseball League. The 41-year-old, who moved to the United States five years ago, enjoyed a dream start to his cross-sport venture by striking out a batter in his very first appearance from the pitcher's mound, becoming one of the few professional cricketers to feature in professional baseball.
