Ashes: I Was Immediately Excited Upon Receiving The Call For Ashes, Reveals Alex Carey
Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey said his first thought on hearing his call-up for the Ashes squad was 'excitement'. He added that featuring in T20 Internationals and one-day matches for Australia helped him adjust quicker to the demands of Test cricket.
Carey was called into the Ashes squad after former captain Tim Paine took an indefinite mental break from the game due to lewd text messages from 2017 with a former Cricket Tasmania staffer resurfacing just three weeks before the marquee series began. It culminated in Paine stepping down from captaincy, with Pat Cummins taking over. Paine eventually took a mental well-being break from all forms of cricket.
