Oval outrage: How much is too much from coach Gautam Gambhir?<\/a><\/p>\n“Personally, I think I’ve made the decision to stop playing international cricket. If there was ever an opportunity to play, I think I would personally prioritise franchise cricket over that,\u201d Wellington said.<\/p>\n
“I know it’s tough to say, but that’s something I really enjoy playing, and it brings out the best of me in terms of personality and enjoyment. That’s one thing I’ve got to put first is my mental health and the way I play franchise cricket, the feeling and just being involved in it, is just a whole new level.\u201d<\/p>\n
“Don’t get me wrong, playing for Australia is amazing and it’s such an achievement. But to be able to travel the world, fly to different places, play a sport you love and just create bonds with so many different people and different franchises – the amount of people I’ve met – it’s ridiculous,\u201d Wellington added.<\/p>\n
