To Get The Nod For Sri Lanka Tour Is A Dream Come True, Says Connolly On Test Team Call-up
"At 21 I would have been happy to play a couple of ODIs and a T20 for Australia. But to get the nod to go to Sri Lanka, I just can't wait. It's such a good group, the coaching staff is amazing, and I feel like I'm going to learn a lot."
"I saw Tony Dodemaide's name pop up and thought there's probably only thing it could be. (It was a) nice phone call, went straight and told mum and dad, mum was about to cry. I'll never forget that moment. Dream come true," said Connolly to reporters at the SCG ahead of Perth Scorchers’ match against Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League (BBL).
