Sydney Sixers Josh Philippe who was crowned BBL 10 Player of the tournament has said that he wants to establish himself as a red-ball cricketer.
"It looks like I'll miss the next half of the Shield season," Philippe told reporters.
"This season there's not much I can do about it. I just hope next season there is an opportunity there for me, fingers crossed.”
"The dream as a kid has always been to get a Baggy Green. I definitely want to try and establish myself at first-class level."
"The dream and goal is to play for Australia, so whatever that role looks like I'll be ready," Philippe said.
"I feel like I'm hitting the ball better than ever ... some of the technical stuff, I've really tried to iron out the creases during the pre-season. I've definitely tried to overthink less and just back my ability this season."
Talking about upcoming IPL and the COVID-19 restrictions, Philippe suggested that he was “pretty happy” the way things went in the last season.
"With COVID and what happens, we never seem to find anything out until the last minute," Philippe said.
"Going over last year and seeing how it was run and all the COVID protocols I was very happy and felt very safe.”
"I've got no doubt, wherever it is held, that it will be the same."
