Albany Creek’s cricketer is not giving up on his dream of playing in the Ashes despite Australia’s decision to drop him for the Ashes 2017. He remains hopeful that he can produce a resounding second coming.

In one interview, he expresses his perseverance about starting again somewhere. He mulls about going back to the grade cricket for the week. He is also optimistic about his Shield game at the WACA next week. He looks forward to score runs in order to boost his confidence once again.

National Selector Trevor Hohns explains that they dropped Renshaw from the Ashes list because he was out of form. Hohns elaborates that they still regard the Albany Creek cricketer as a strong player. They think that the Ashes Test match was not the best place for Renshaw to get back to form. He adds that national selectors want to see Renshaw return to first-class cricket and bring back the big runs.
