“Our oceans hold some of the most incredible species on the planet. It’s a world we’ve only started to explore. It’s a world we must value and protect.”

I’m learning from my past mistakes and trying to correct them as I move forward. Experience at the international level has probably taught me what it takes to probably go out there and get a 100 or to build an innings or to win a game.

No matter how talented you are or naturally gifted you are, there’s no substitute to hard work if you got to maintain standards.
