Phoebe Litchfield was quoted by cricket.com.au as saying, “I think over the past 12 months I’ve learned a lot about my game. On the mental side of it, during the Ashes campaign I probably didn’t have the best series, so dealing with that disappointment and also riding the waves with the team – we hadn’t lost much in the past (while).”
“Over the last six months, I think I’ve learned just a lot about my game as a whole, the mental side, and dealing with the highs and lows of international cricket,” she said in her conclusion.
