We wanted to change a few things in the change room.
We wanted to bowl every ball with intent and bat every ball with intent.
Along the way, especially this new cycle, we want to change a few things because we feel like we have to match the intensity of world cricket.
What do you look forward to in the next three or four weeks in terms of preparation for that tour?)
And I still need to be leading this team from the front with everything that I do.
Raza (2/2): (Talk to us about the team, talk to us about the ethos and what the change room has been like because the last couple of months have been fantastic and even going back to the World Cup earlier this year) The journey started long ago. We wanted to change a few things in the change room. We wanted to be there for each other's success. We wanted to be there for each other's failures. We wanted to put our heart on our sleeves. We wanted to die for every ball. We wanted to bowl every ball with intent and bat every ball with intent. Along the way, especially this new cycle, we want to change a few things because we feel like we have to match the intensity of world cricket. And along the way, we will have some bad games and I'm very okay with that. But one thing I do know, once the lessons, once the experience we have had match the standard of world cricket, once Zimbabwe come out, we will flourish. (Bit of time before you travel down to Namibia for a tri-series there. What do you look forward to in the next three or four weeks in terms of preparation for that tour?) Certainly try and buy a run for myself. That will be the first thing I look at (smiles). No, the team has held themselves really well without my contributions. But as a leader, I know where I falter and what I need to do. And I still need to be leading this team from the front with everything that I do. But very happy how the team has gone about their business without me scoring runs. Hopefully, when I start contributing, I'll add a lot more to the team's success. And I'm pretty sure those runs are around the corner.
