Gutted about not being selected for the upcoming tour. Loved every minute of this summer & I’m going to work all out this winter to try and get back to where I want to be.
Also the finger I broke in the last test has healed super quick so can’t wait to start batting again! pic.twitter.com/YDcSLfsON6
