There isnt much flow, but you love to see international players perform well because it gives you great confidence moving forward.And theres no better moment to pick someone than when theyre up and about and feeling confident.

I dont think necessarily that individual form in one format flows into another, and I dont necessarily think that winning the T20 World Cup gives us any great advantage heading into the Ashes," Bailey opined.Bailey stated that he doesnt believe that every form of a format flows into the other, and that the T20 World Cup wont give us an advantage going into the Ashes.

Were twelve hours away from the moment he played the most memorable innings in T20 (World Cup).There will be plenty of time to discuss Ashes moving forward.

I think its really important that we celebrate the tournament and the role hes played in that team, and celebrate the fact that hes an Australian hero for a day and hes very much a catalyst behind us holding the trophy above our heads.Its important to celebrate the tournament, the role he played in that team, as well as the fact that he is an Australian hero for a single day.Hes also a catalyst behind our lifting the trophy.As I said, I think the formats are so completely different," added Bailey.
