Australia wicket-keeper Alex Carey, who was part of their World Cup 2023 winning campaign, did not have a significant role to play in the team’s victory in India. He was axed after the very first match against the hosts, and instead, young Josh Inglis was preferred. But despite this setback, the southpaw feels he has a decent amount of white-ball cricket left in him.
“One hundred percent. I still feel like I’ve had some pretty solid performances in the last 12 months in one day cricket,” he told Fox Sports. “Obviously the timing of a leaner trot led to that decision from the selection panel. But absolutely, I feel like I’ve got a lot of good one day cricket (and) lots of T20 cricket left in me.”
But he did admit, that it hurt when he was left out of the rest of the Australia matches at the World Cup. “It never makes it easy to hear (that) you’re going to be left out,” he said.
“(But) you get time to reflect and then sit down and speak to each and every one of them to find out … the reasons. And then all you can do is go to work on trying to improve in certain areas.
“You want to be able to have a panel who can have those honest conversations. You don’t want to be going to bed at night wondering why and I didn’t, so … although you still don’t like to hear it, you’re able to talk through it and move on and help the team win the World Cup.”
