Jeh, 21, will be in Darwin when Australia 'A\u2019 play three 50-over matches and two four-day games against the Sri Lanka A side. He also cited Sri Lanka\u2019s legendary spinner Rangana Herath, as well as current spinners Mitchell Santner and Matt Kuhnemann, as other inspirational bowling figures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cJadeja is a really good one when I was growing up. It was really, really cool to watch those guys go about their business. In batting, I always loved watching Mike Hussey...Bowling-wise, Rangana Herath, Mitch Santner, and Australia\u2019s own Matt Kuhnemann.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI've had the pleasure of playing against guys like Kuhnemann and seeing how they go about their business. It's pretty special to watch and I try and just absorb as much as I can,\u201d said Jeh in a statement issued by Cricket Australia (CA).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Interestingly, Jeh is right-handed in most things, but plays cricket with his left hand. \u201cAs a kid, I was actually, so I'm right-handed at everything...The only things I do left-handed are batting and bowling,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On the day he got the news of being selected for Australia \u2018A\u2019 team, it came with a dose of drama as Jeh initially missed the call from selectors before calling back and learning about it, and then informing his father, Michael.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI was at school teaching at the time when I got the call. I actually missed the call the first time, and I had to call Tony Dodemaide (National Selector) back after his voicemail and heard the news then.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSo, the first person I told was actually Dad. I called Dad straight away, and he was down in Hobart and at work. So, it was pretty cool to share that moment with him. A bit of surprise and unexpectedness, but yeah, ready to rip in,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Michael was born in Sri Lanka and played first-class cricket in England before settling in Australia. Jeh credits his dad for growing his love towards cricket. \u201cDad was a big driver in that in terms of cricket for us, playing as kids in the corridor in the house and having a lot of family support there who all love their cricket on both sides of the family.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Asked about how he took out Glenn Maxwell in a game at Junction Oval, an excited Jeh explained, \u201cObviously Glenn\u2019s resume speaks for itself. The fact that we even get the opportunity to play against someone like that in second-element cricket was pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
