There’s A Little Bit Of Anxiety – Sydney Sixers Pacer Jackson Bird

The Sydney Sixers Pacer Jackson Bird has said that there is a bit of anxiety in the camp and he feels that contracting COVID-19 is inevitable.

“I hope I’m wrong, but that’s just the feeling I’ve got at the moment. You’ve got to put it out of your mind which can be a little bit hard to do. It’s pretty weird times,” he added.
