Domestic career
Stone made his debut in county cricket for his native Norfolk County Cricket Club against Bedfordshire in the 2011 Minor Counties Championship.[1]
Having been a part of the Northamptonshire Cricket Academy since 2009, and played Second XI cricket for the county since 2010,[2] Stone made his first team debut for Northamptonshire in a Twenty20 match against Durham in the Friends Provident t20.[3] He was dismissed in the match for a first-ball duck by Paul Collingwood, the third victim of Collingwood's hat-trick.[4][5] In 2012, Stone made his List A debut for the county against Warwickshire in the Clydesdale Bank 40,[6] and his first-class debut against Yorkshire in the County Championship.[7] Stone would regularly play for Northants through the 2012 season and consequently signed a new 2-year deal with the county in July 2012.[8]
Earlier in the season he appeared for Norfolk in two MCCA Knockout Trophy matches against Shropshire and Wiltshire.[9]
Early in the 2016 season he suffered a serious knee injury, while celebrating the wicket of Moeen Ali, which caused him to miss the rest of the season.[10] Nonetheless, in July he signed a three-year contract to play for Warwickshire.[11]
International career
Stone, alongside fellow Northants youngster Ben Duckett, was called up to the England Under-19 squad for their tour to South Africa in 2013 on the back of his performances for Northants in the second half of the 2012 season.[12]
In September 2018, he was named in England's Test and One Day International (ODI) squads for the series against Sri Lanka.[13][14] He made his ODI debut for England against Sri Lanka on 10 October 2018,[15] though the game was washed out after 15 overs before he had a chance to bat or bowl.[16] In December 2018, Stone was named in England's Test squad for the series against the West Indies.[17] However, ahead of the first Test, he was ruled out of the tour with a back injury.[18] His county side, Warwickshire, later confirmed he had a stress fracture in his lower back, which would take six to twelve weeks to heal.[19]
In July 2019, Stone was named in England's Test squad, for their one-off match against Ireland at Lord's.[20] He made his Test debut for England, against Ireland, at Lord's on 24 July 2019.[21]
On 29 May 2020, Stone was named in a 55-man group of players to begin training ahead of international fixtures starting in England following the COVID-19 pandemic.[22][23] On 17 June 2020, Stone was included in England's 30-man squad to start training behind closed doors for the Test series against the West Indies.[24][25] On 4 July 2020, Stone was named as one of the nine reserve players for the first Test match of the series.[26][27]
