It’s nearly a travesty Michael Neser hasn’t played more international cricket. I mean it’s amazing we have that depth to leave a talent like tha🌼t out of the team but you gotta feel for him in a way. Incredible cricketer.

It’s a travesty he’s only played two 💮Tests but he also could easily have pꩲlayed more than his four ODIs.
