With due respect to the counties, it's hard to market 18 games against them a season,

With the new C&G format, by all accounts those games will be at weekends. So hopefully, we will have more access to our first-choice side which is something we haven't had this year. Guys won't be forced to use up as many holidays to play and that frees up other opportunities to go abroad and play.

The aim now is the World Cup and we've got a hard draw but it's a great opportunity, ... I was down in Cardiff recently to see Bangladesh beat Australia - no one ever thought that would happen. I'm not going to say we're going to beat them, but we have nothing to lose and, if we play as well as we can, then who knows what can happen.

I know how exciting it is for the fans. But the games are so meaningful right now, it's hard to take for us.

The market is due for a pause.

With all due respect, the Mona Lisa is overrated.
