Australian paceman Nathan Coulter-Nile, who was recently left out of the ODI squad to face India, has expressed his displeasure over the way things were communicated to him by selectors.
Coulter-Nile was left out due to a ‘sore back’ but the speedster said he had told the selectors that he was yet to have a scan, which eventually came out all clear.
“I think it was communicated to me really poorly.” Coulter-Nile told ABC Radio.
“I won’t go into it, but I don’t think soreness is really any excuse for not playing cricket. In fairness, I hadn’t had a (back) scan yet. I had had back soreness and back history, but I hadn’t had a scan to see what was wrong. I had one when I got home and it was all clear,” he added
“They picked the team before I had a scan to know what was wrong with my back, that’s just when the team was picked to come out. I was getting some mixed messages about what was happening – that’s just the way it is,” Coulter-Nile said, expressing his disappointment.
“I have no issue with being dropped, I just like to get a clear message about why – I was told it was because I had a sore back. I presume they’re in contact with Jonesy (WACA Head Physiotherapist Nick Jones) and the support staff, I’m very open.
