When asked about batting alongside Kieron Pollard, David said: “It’s an exciting idea to bat with him. Polly is someone I’ve admired for his batting power and I’ve watched some of his innings to see how can I do that myself. we could start in the middle and death overs, we can take away a few games.”
“Rohit Sharma is a world class player. He just looks so effortless when he strikes, it’s very admirable. It’s a huge bonus to be able to spend time with class players and try to boost their brains a bit,” he added. †
