I am a big fan of cricket game- Gareth Southgate

Gareth Southgate was having an interaction with the reporters and stated that he is a huge cricket game and pointed out that this is the first time when he saw a side declared on 393-8 on Day 1. Gareth Southgate said that people will judge you for the decisions on the outcome.

“I’m a big cricket fan and it’s something that is hugely exciting to watch at the moment. You know their mindset has been a big thing, but they’ve also got a lot of world-class players. You know, we’ve got quite a few players I think would get in a World XI,” said Gareth Southgate

“So, the standard is also very good, but there’s definitely been this shift in how they’re playing, and I would imagine this is the first team in my lifetime to declare at 393/8 on Day 1,” he stated.
