‘I Was Screaming In My Head’: Weatherald On Test Call-up For Ashes Opener
The Sydney Morning Herald: Jake Weatherald shared his initial reaction after receiving the news of his selection for Australia’s squad for the Ashes opener from chairman of selectors George Bailey and admitted that, while he tried to remain calm during the conversation, he was “screaming in his head” with excitement.
Weatherald withdrew from first-class cricket during the 2020/21 summer amid the Covid-19 pandemic, later taking a second leave of absence in 2022. This period led to his relocation from South Australia to Tasmania in domestic cricket.
Three years later, he has finally earned his international call-up for this month’s first Ashes Test, nearly a decade after making his first-class debut.
