Domestic career

He attended Marley Hill County Primary School, followed by Whickham School. He joined Durham in 2005 and played two seasons in the second eleven, before making his first team debut in 2007.

He scored fifty in his second match, against Hampshire and what was then his highest score, 101, in a victory over Sussex in September 2007. He has so far been largely restricted to first-class matches, as it is Durham's practice to pick Phil Mustard, the wicket keeper, as an opening batsman in one-day matches. He played in one List A match in 2008.

On 26 July 2016, Stoneman signed for Surrey ahead of the 2017 season.[3] In July 2018, Stoneman reached the milestone of 10,000 first-class runs. [4]

International career

Stoneman played for England in the 2006 U-19 Cricket World Cup in Sri Lanka. In August 2017, he was named in England's Test squad for their series against the West Indies, to replace Keaton Jennings as opening partner to Alastair Cook.[5] He made his Test debut in the first match of the series on 17 August 2017.[6] He is the first cricketer to make his debut in a Day-Night Test match. He kept his place in the team for the 2017-18 Ashes Series and made his Ashes debut in the opening Test match in Brisbane on 23 November 2017, partnering Cook.
