“If we feel like we need a rest and it’s going to hinder our international cricket, then we’ll probably have a rest. So I guess at the start of the year, you just try and work out when you can play and where you can go and go from there,” the English all-rounder added.
Livingstone has played franchise cricket across the world, including the Indian Premier League (IPL) where he currently represents Rajasthan Royals.
