Jayden Levitt told amazing
Jayden Levitt, the first captain of Bromsgrove Cricket Club, told the BBC that he could not believe what he had achieved. He does not know what is the importance of his performance. To get a double hat-trick in one over is amazing. It’s an amazing effort and I think he probably won’t realize the importance of it until he’s older.
