Coles' performances caught the eye of the selectors, leading to an opportunity to tour Sri Lanka with the England Under-19 team that winter.
This experience provided him with invaluable exposure to international cricket and allowed him to showcase his skills against high-quality opposition.

Furthermore, Coles' exceptional talent earned him a spot in the squad for the Under-19 World Cup held in the Caribbean.
Representing his nation on the global stage at such a young age demonstrates the immense potential and belief the cricketing fraternity has in his abilities.

Possessing a solid all-round game, Coles' bowling prowess and ability to contribute with the bat make him an asset to any team he represents.
His astute cricketing brain, combined with his natural ability, promises a bright future in the sport.

Off the field, Coles remains modest and grounded, eager to learn and improve with each opportunity he receives.
He draws inspiration from the cricketing greats of the past, studying their techniques and work ethics to refine his own game continually.
