He picked 5 wickets of 200 and had an 11-wicket ODI campaign against West Indies he July 2021, he’s ready to smash Sri Lanka in June this year.

He had made his debut in ODI in 2010 and played 11 ODIs before he played his first T20I which took place before he went regular with the Test arena. He was also a very significant part of Australia’s 2015 home World Cup where he gave his best performance. His six-wicket haul at Eden park and dismissal of Brendon McCullum in the opening over in the finale at MCG will be remembered by the cricket fanatics.

he even broke McGrath’s record for the most wickets at the World Cup where he took 27 wickets that helped the Aussies get into the semi-finals.

“It’s obviously where I first got a chance in the Australian group and then probably grew from there with a few more responsibilities over the first period of my white ball career, bowling at the death and then obviously the World Cups in recent times. So it was probably my most consistent format for a long time.

“It was probably the first format that I felt like I belonged. It took me a lot longer in Test cricket to feel comfortable or like I belonged in Test cricket with the stop-start (nature of his early Test career).”– he said
