Overton plays his county cricket for Somerset, one of the eighteen first-class counties in England and Wales. His twin brother, Jamie Overton, is also a professional cricketer who has represented England.
Overton developed his career through the county system with Somerset before progressing to international honours. He made his debut for England in December 2017, joining the senior side as a seam-bowling all-rounder.
Overton operates as a right-arm medium-fast bowler, capable of extracting bounce and movement, and contributes with the bat lower in the order as a right-handed batsman. This combination underpins his role as an all-rounder for both Somerset and England.
Overton is among the contemporary group of seam-bowling all-rounders to graduate from the English county circuit into the national side. Together with his twin brother Jamie, he forms one of the few sets of twins to have played international cricket for England.
