If you could go back in time and give anyone a piece of advice, who would it be and why?
To any young cricketer, my advice will be to make sure they get a goodnight sleep before a game. Prepare the best you can mentally and physically in the week leading up to a game. 2 quotes that I will say as I think of these quotes frequently – “People will put pressure on you but you don’t have to put pressure on yourself, Trust your instincts/ability and it will take care of itself” and “I work hard on my game daily, I’m never satisfied and never going to be”.

If you could walk out to bat to any song blaring in the background, what would it be and why?
Hermitude – Through the Roof. This song pumps me up with great energy and also keeps me relaxed and confident.
