Australia’s young pacer Jason Behrendorff expressed that he is raring to perform in the upcoming three-match T20 series against India as it will enhance his chances to get a contract in IPL, which he thinks will be “huge” for him.

According to the reports of PTI, in a recent interview, Behrendorff said, “It will be huge. Everyone wants to play in the IPL. Every guy you play alongside in Big Bash League, who has done it or aspires to do it, speaks how great a competition IPL is, how much fun they have had, a large number of people, who come to watch matches. It’s an experience, I would love to have.”

However, the pacer is yet to make his international debut in any format and is confident that he will get a chance in one of the three games. he said, “It’s something I have worked so hard for. So hopefully, I will be able to play at least one of these three matches over the next week or so. But I am 100 percent focused on these games here and making my debut.”

Talking about the morale of the Australian team after losing ODI series by 1-4, Behrendorff said, “We speak a lot about having a good attitude at training and games. We are doing everything we can to remain positive. That’s a big part for the new guys coming into the group. We need to keep the ground buzzing.”

Behrendorff concluded by talking about his desire to play the longest format of the game, “Most of my cricket has been in four-day cricket so it’s something I have worked really hard at and I am feeling more confident with how I am going about it. It’s a format I really enjoy and I am looking forward to starting the four-day summer when I get home as well.”
