“I just didn't feel like having Test cricket at that point was going to be beneficial to my career,” Overton says.
“I feel like I'm a bit more refreshed for whenever I play a white-ball game now.
I feel like I can go into it with 100 per cent whereas at times after playing all three formats, it's hard to go into a format and be fully prepared and be ready for that game.
When I was playing red-ball cricket, trying to bat and bowl and get all my loads up, it was quite tricky and probably just working my body too hard.
So I feel like I've been able to train properly for what I need to do.”
