Matt Renshaw Tunes Out Ashes Speculation as ODI Recall Marks Resurgence

The 29-year-old credits family focus, alongside a social-media blackout, for a calmer approach.

Overview

  • Renshaw says he is ignoring talk of a Test recall and no longer checks how rival openers are scoring after Shield rounds.
  • He says he hides the Cricket Australia app and mutes cricket content on Instagram to avoid selection chatter.
  • The left-hander was a surprise call-up to Australia’s ODI squad to face India and admits he had to Google the schedule.
  • Strong form for Queensland has put him back in discussions to open in the Ashes, with the England series set to start in Perth on November 21.
  • He cites fatherhood and guidance from Usman Khawaja for reshaping his mindset and says it is OK to fail, noting even elite players have low scores.
