Being a finisher was ‘not the only focus’ for Tim David, who has ‘naturally developed that way
It felt fitting that Tim David considered being called up in the Australia squad from the UK, where he has played T20 Blast and Hundred in recent months, on his way to the CPL in the West Indies where he would have a handful before moving to India. The game and the prospect of a debut in Australia.
He has forged his own, very modern, route in the game and it has now taken him to the top. How he fits into Australia’s XI for the World Cup remains to be seen, but over the years the Singapore-born David has set a record as a finisher who can do just a few matches and has won him the first. He has brought success all over the world.
I was only going to play T20 in professional cricket, so you focus on those skills and I get more chances from there
“From there I was going to play only T20 in professional cricket, so you focus on those skills and I get more opportunities from there. It may sound unorthodox but I’ve been playing a lot of T20 cricket and I am stunned to reach this point.”
He believed that games with Multan Sultans would be better for him and national selector George Bailey was on board.”To be honest, at no point was picking for Australia something I was thinking about,” he said.

“I’ve always tried to make the best decisions for my career. It was great for George to be able to see it and support it.”
Bailey said that he has been the star of Big Bash for a while
“He’s been the star of the Big Bash for a while,” Bailey said. “We have reached the end of the Big Bash and we like to see who is leading the run charts and facing the most balls, but if you look at franchises and international teams around the world in an innings Let’s see the ability to do it, whether it is two, 12 or 20 balls is in high demand.
“It’s a different journey, no doubt, and it’s great when you get a chance to hear about the trip. He’s been a part of our domestic system … And it’s also new. You can see more and more of it but there are some challenges too.”
For now, all roads lead to the World Cup for David. A couple more stops along the way.
