"I want to keep building on this momentum. It's all about staying consistent, working on my strengths, and contributing in every game. The key is to keep things simple and enjoy the process.

"We have a great team environment where everyone supports each other. Whether itâ™s celebrating wickets, backing our teammates, or keeping the energy high in the field, that positive vibe makes a big difference - and we thrive off it."
