Early life and domestic career

Stoneman scored 50 in his second match, against Hampshire and what was then his highest score, 101, in a victory over Sussex in September 2007.[citation needed]
On 26 July 2016, Stoneman signed for Surrey ahead of the 2017 season.[3] In July 2018, Stoneman reached the milestone of 10,000 first-class runs.[4]
In August 2021, Stoneman joined Middlesex, initially on loan for the remainder of that year's county championship season, and then signing a three-year contract.[5][6]
He left Middlesex at the end of the 2024 season[7] and joined Hampshire on a one-year red-ball contract in February 2025.[8]
International career
[edit]Stoneman played for England in the 2006 U-19 Cricket World Cup in Sri Lanka. In August 2017, he was named in England's Test squad for their series against the West Indies, to replace Keaton Jennings as opening partner to Alastair Cook.[9] He made his Test debut in the first match of the series on 17 August 2017.[10] He is the first cricketer to make his debut in a Day-Night Test match. He kept his place in the team for the 2017-18 Ashes Series and made his Ashes debut in the opening Test match in Brisbane on 23 November 2017, partnering Cook and made 53 in the first innings before being dismissed by Pat Cummins.[11]
