I’m not really thinking about it too much – Tim David on Australia T20I call-up
The 26-year-old power-hitter said that although he would be thrilled and excited to join Australia’s T20I team, he is not really thinking about the call-up for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022.
“They won the World Cup six months ago and that team hasn’t changed since then. Those guys have been playing for Australia for a long time. If I had the opportunity to be a part of it, I’d be thrilled and really excited.
“I’m not really thinking about it too much, to be honest. Playing well in T20 leagues fills me with a lot of confidence, but international cricket is a different beast so we’ll see what happens if I get that opportunity. It’s just another challenge. I just want to keep trying to improve and have fun,” David was quoted as saying on BT Sport.
