There is a player named ‘Adam Hose’ playing for Birmingham Bears (Warwickshire County Cricket Club) in the ongoing NatwestT20 blast in England. Former England cricketer Ashley Giles believes that Hose is the next Kevin Pietersen as he has what it takes to be the next star of England cricket.

"It’s early days but he is a hairs up on the back of your neck sort of player. Some of the shots he hits, some of his attributes are very similar to KP’s He is the same sort of size, has long levers, hits the ball out in front of himself well, and hits it miles when he gets in," Giles said. 


"There’s every chance we have got a bit of a golden nugget here. He’s done it the tough way but we are delighted to have him.  One of his five sixes against Lancashire landed in the top tier of Edgbaston’s monstrous pavilion end.  I’ve never seen anyone do that before," Giles added.


Hose made his debut for Somerset against Hampshire in the 2015 Natwest T20 blast and made his first class debut for Somerset the following year. Although he rejected three year contract for Somerset in 2017 and has played for Warwickshire since then. Hose has since been sensational for his new team, scoring 76 off 47 on his debut, following it up with other good knocks off 49 and 36 against Lancashire and Surrey respectively.
