Scott Boland Is Getting Calls From County Clubs After Ashes Success

Australian pacer Scott Boland revealed that few county clubs have already shown their interest in signing him after his recent succes with Australia in the Ashes 2021-22.

Boland became the second Indigenous player after Jason Gillespie to play red-ball format for Australia as he made his Test debut in front of his home crowd in Melbourne.

I’m not sure if I’ll go over there: Scott Boland on playing County Cricket

The 32-year-old said he is unsure on playing county cricket as he is expecting his selection for the Pakistan tour in March.

“I spoke with my manager the other day, he said he’s had a few calls (from County clubs),” Boland was quoted as saying by sen.com.au.

“I’m not sure if I’ll go over there, if I get picked to go to Pakistan, I think it’s going to make for a really busy winter. We’ll wait and see what happens there.

“I’ll probably sit down at some stage and have a chat with George Bailey (Cricket Australia chief selector) about where they see my future over the next couple of years,” added Boland.

Australia defeated England by 146 runs in the final match in Hobart as they thrashed their arch-rivals by 4-0.

As the England openers threatened to post a huge partnership in their chase of 270, Cameron Green got the crucial breakthrough for England as he dismissed Rory Burns at the stroke of the tea break.

Coming into the second session, Green got the wickets of Dawid Malan and Zak Crawley in quick succession as England were left staggering at 83/3.

England’s senior players Joe Root and Ben Stokes couldn’t do much enough to help their team chase the target as they were sent packing to the dressing room.

Cummins got the wickets of Ollie Pope, Mark Wood and Ollie Robinson as Australia trounced by 146 runs.
