All everyone wanted to do was talk to me about cricket and playing for England and especially on the bad days.. because eventually I got dropped. That was quite a bad place, and it felt like my world had ended in a way and it sounds really selfish but that's the sort of bubble that you get yourself in."
Coping with Adversity & Transferable Skills
