So I was trying to give him a single or two (and contain boundaries), mixing the pace and variation." "It has been very good. I have been working very hard since the domestic season.

And if you can perform like this, you feel good," the 21-year old Chinaman spinner added. "They keep telling me about how to plan for various batsmen. During net sessions, they also keep telling me how to bowl to an attacking batsman or a defensive batsman. So that really helped me a lot," he said.
