He emphasized that his passion for Test cricket drives his fitness and preparation levels, even when he’s not in the playing XI. “If the team needs me, I am prepared. I’ve been working hard on my fitness and form, and if I get the call for the England tour, I’ll give it everything I have,” he added.
