He said: “It wasn’t ideal, but I’m a big believer in everything that happens for a reason and maybe I just need a break. I’ve played solid cricket for three years, so it was good to spend a little bit.” time at home.
“Now, I feel like I’m that kid in the backyard again who wants to play cricket every minute of the day.
