Melbourne, July 19 | Australian limited-overs batsman DArcy Short is confident of shaking off the white-ball specialist tag and proving his worth against the red ball.
It was very enticing in terms of the opportunities that I could have got (in Tasmania), he told cricket.com.au.
Short turned down an offer to move to Tasmania, and instead decided that a first full pre-season at Western Australia would give him the best chance to prove himself as a red-ball player in his adopted home state.
But I felt like if I stayed here and put in a full pre-season, I can play all formats here as well. That was a challenge for me; I know I can do that here and this is where I want to try and do it.
I love playing cricket in WA and thats why Im staying.
It was a combination of both (cricket and personal reasons). With all the cricket I play and being away so much, I felt like being home when I could is a good option.
Im a bit of a homebody anyway, which doesnt really help me in terms of the job. But if I can spend time at home, thats what I want to do. That was one of the main reasons.
I dont think its an unfair view, its just what people have seen, Short said on the tag of him being a white-ball specialist.
I definitely back myself in red-ball cricket as well. I just havent taken my opportunities as well as I could have or should have in the games that Ive played.
The pressure of wanting to do well and keep my spot plays on my mind a bit as well. I know I can do it, its just about putting it together in a game.
I think I slowly proved that last year. Against NSW, I opened the batting against a Test attack and got fifty and batted for a fair amount of time (164 balls).
I got a fair bit of confidence out of that. Its just about putting a big score on the board when I get a chance, said Short who has so far played eight ODIs and 20 T20s for Australia.
