Liam Plunkett took the mound on June 26, 2026.
The veteran England fast bowler tried his hand at minor‑league baseball in the United States.
He had spent several weeks practicing with the team before the game.
Coaches said his height and arm speed made the switch easier.
In his debut he struck out a hitter on the second pitch of his first at‑bat.
The strikeout was his only recorded out that night.
The move is a uncommon cross‑sport shift after he ended his international cricket career.
