He also opened up about the challenges a batter faces in England. He said: “As a batter, you know, one thing I realised batting last year, I think a year before that, it was that you're never in. The weather keeps changing a lot, so you've got to keep concentrating for longer periods of time. And that is the challenge of this format. You will get that intuition, when it is your time to take the bowlers on. And that is when you should be ready for it. And, more importantly, you need to be there. We know that this is probably one of the best batting wickets as well you get value for your shots you know the square boundaries are quite quick."
