“After the WPL, we didn’t have loads of tournaments. I’ve put in loads of work within the final three months, each when it comes to my cricket and batting. I haven’t been capable of convert into massive scores however the type of work I’ve put in, it should mirror quickly and I’ll get constant scores.”
