Brisbane, Nov 7: England opener Rory Burns has said that he is prepared for Ashes inauguration and the experience of playing grade cricket in Australia will hold him in good stead for the five-Test series starting next month.
While this is Burns’s first Test campaign in Australia, he did spend a summer playing alongside Travis Head at Tea Tree Gully in Adelaide in 2012/13. The following season, he moved to Sydney to play for Randwick Petersham.
“The majority of places that I’ve toured in my career so far with England, I actually haven’t been to before, so it’s obviously nice that I’ve been here. I’ve got some experience of conditions out here and plans can start being formulated a fraction earlier,” Burns was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au. “I’ve been able to see them, I’ve been able to play against them before, I’ve got a good picture of how they operate so that allows me to put my best sort of plan together and prep for them.
