"Since I had not been picked for one-day cricket for the last two years, I was obviously a little surprised, To be honest, I had not informed the selectors or the board of my intention to focus only on Test cricket because I had not been picked. Now that I am in the one-day side, I am committed as always to give my best in this ODI series against England and thereafter the Tests I play,” Mr. Wall said.
