Adam Voges provided Malan with important pointers

“I didn’t think this day would come,I actually had a chat about two-and-a-half months ago with Adam after the North v South (domestic) games which I contributed really well to. Then they (England) rested a few players for the Ireland matches. I spoke to Adam and said ‘Look, I don’t know what else I can do. I can only score so many runs in the games that I’m given’,” commented Dawid Malan according to Times of India

He gave me a few tips as he was in the same position with regards to Test cricket in Australia. He was a late bloomer so he told me what he did. Fortunately I was given another chance and I took it. You probably have your best years from 28 to 32 as a batsman,” further explained Malan.

“You start knowing your game, what your strengths and weaknesses are. So hopefully my best years are still ahead of me and I can get a few more opportunities to push for a regular place, I know that country very well and it means a hell of a lot to me, It’s given me my years at school and made me the guy that I am.” concluded the left hander.
