His remarkable figures of 8 for 35 against England in Queenstown established him as a potent legspinner, drawing comparisons to the legendary Shane Warne.
Born and raised in Australia, Pope developed a passion for cricket at a young age.
At just eight years old, he started experimenting with legspin while playing with his father in Cairns.
