"Simply that when you are not performing, you are intellectually a clamped down, however expertise wise, there is no issue. From the psychological perspective, things have changed after I got the rest, and ideally, we will give a decent exhibition in the forthcoming Scene Cup,"

Given the circumstances, containing the players and pick wickets, given the idea of level tracks and little boundaries will be troublesome.
