Dan Christian is happy and excited with his comeback in Australia’s preliminary team for the white-ball tours of the West Indies and Bangladesh. The experienced all-rounder called his comeback a “significant ambition” that has been “fulfilled.”
Christian last played for Australia in 2017 in a T20I game against India. The 38-year-old all-rounder found his place in the Australian team after brilliant performances in the Big Bash League (BBL).
Talking on his selection, Dan Christian was quoted as saying by trentbridge.co.uk “Getting picked by Australia again is a significant ambition fulfilled for sure, and particularly exciting in such an important year of T20 cricket heading into the World Cup.”
Dan Christian is currently in the UK preparing for the 2021 T20 Blast. However, he will have to leave out the English T20 tournament after his inclusion in the national team. Christian captained Nottinghamshire to the title in the 2020 season.
“It’s disappointing that I won’t get to don the Notts jersey this year and get the chance to play alongside those guys again in 2021. It’s become a big part of my life in recent times and I’ll miss it,” Christian said.
Dan Christian’s performance in the 2020-21 BBL season made his comeback into the national team, where he helped the Sydney Sixers to back-to-back titles.
