“We will be fully immersed in the state program over the next few months. There are no Australian camps in Brisbane because we cannot get there. But here in Victoria we have great facilities, we look forward to it.” to be involved in the state program, which we have not been able to do for a number of years due to our schedule.
“We are well prepared, we have enough resources to do what we need and then adjust to our schedule.”

“The group we have played a lot of cricket together over a long period of time and if it (the coronavirus) means we have only a short time to prepare and prepare (for the World Cup) I have no doubt that we can do it. We will be ready to go. “
