Hopefully I will score some runs – Dan Lawrence Dan Lawrence, speaking on ESPNcricinfo, said, I was just waiting for an opportunity and wherever it was I wanted to grab it. So I’ll just enjoy these few weeks and hopefully score some runs and put myself in contention for selection in the future. Dan Lawrence made his Test debut against Sri Lanka and then came on the tour of India in 2021, but could not perform well. Dan scored 149 runs in 6 innings, after which he did not get a chance again. Speaking further, Lawrence said, I think in my first stint I showed glimpses of what I can do. I was definitely inconsistent. There were some glimpses of what I can do and some low scores. But I think that was due to being very young. I was not fully confident about my game at that time and it was all very challenging. So I want to make a fresh start.
