Nathan Ellis has said that he is trying his best to be a part of Australia’s squad for the T20 World Cup in Australia. He said that playing in the T20 Blast and the Hundred can help him to find a place in Australia’s squad. He said that he wants to play as many white-ball matches as possible ahead of the World Cup.

“That was sort of the catalyst for me playing the Blast and trying to push for the Hundred – just trying to play as much white-ball cricket [as possible] leading into this World Cup and put my name out there,” Ellis said in the Grade Cricketer podcast.

“It’s all I want to do: imagine playing a home T20 World Cup in front of your friends and family.”
