Mitchell Owen ‘happy’ to move down the order ahead of T20Is against Windies

Kingston: With Australia having enormous top-order riches ahead of the T20I series against the West Indies starting on Monday, rising all-rounder Mitchell Owen said he would still be excited if he’s asked to play in the middle order. Owen is one of two potential debutants in Australia’s squad for the T20Is in the Caribbean alongside left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann.

Since hitting a 39-ball century in the Big Bash League final against the Sydney Thunder and helping the Hobart Hurricanes win their maiden title, Owen has become a globetrotter by featuring in South Africa’s SA20 competition, the Pakistan Super League (PSL), the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the United States’ Major League Cricket (MLC), where he recently won the most valuable player (MVP) award.

“Since Big Bash, it’s all happened so fast. It’s just been on the go, so it’s hard to have time to sit back and reflect on what the last six to eight months have looked like. But it’s cool, it’s what I’ve always wanted to do and always dreamt of doing, is to play cricket around the world.”

“I’m taking it each tour at a time and just trying to stick to my process and do what has worked over the last six to eight months and just trying to learn from each opportunity and experience.” IANS
