“I in all probability really feel extra prepared now than I did once I first bought into the England crew. And I’ve in all probability grown up a bit since then as properly. Hopefully that each one helps if I get the decision.
“I’ve no points [with McCullum and Stokes] – I by no means should be trustworthy. A couple of issues went on in India… I do not know what they actually had been. We have by no means actually ironed something out.
“I feel to get the message from Baz and the decision from Keysy suggests, no matter it was, the door is open and simply to carry out and attempt to get again in.”
