Justin Langer on Daniel Christian's inclusion for WI T20Is

"He's finally worn me down, 'Christo'. "I've been in the (head coach) job three years and every time he gets some runs in any game or competition around the world, he texts me and says 'Coach I'm ready to go, pick me, I'm the best allrounder in Australia'.He's a fantastic bloke, he's got an amazing set of hands in the field (and) he's clever with the ball. His experience and we've seen throughout the Big Bash and all around the world actually, he hits the ball as clean as anyone", said Justin Langer as quoted by cricket.com.au.

"It's almost becoming urban myth, isn't it? Wherever he plays, we win. He's so excited, he's probably a bit nervous tonight - so excited about playing for Australia again -  and I just love seeing that, love seeing that energy. It's like Moises Henriques as well. I love seeing that energy at whatever age", he added.
