Brisbane leg-spinner Mitchell Swepson admits he was chuffed by Shane Warne’s calls for him to be added to the Australian Test squad, but says he is a long way off selection.
Swepson has been one of the sensations of this summer’s Big Bash League, claiming nine scalps in six games to be the equal-second leading wicket-taker of the competition.
His performances also led to Warne saying he would “love to see” the 23-year-old playing in the dead-rubber Sydney Test last month, even if he wasn’t quite ready for international cricket yet.
