Douglas was named the 2017 Safe Hands Award Winner for this breathtaking catch taken on Friday afternoon to dismiss Stephen Outerbridge off the bowling of Kyle Hodsoll.
During today’s award ceremony Douglas reflected on the catch saying, “I was really just trying to stop the ball from going out of the grounds, I am talk and athletic and that helped me to get up and hold onto the ball.”
