I always looked upto  Lloyd Norris-Jones and Jason Wilson and this time I had a chance to play alongside them. I knew this was a great opportunity for me and I picked up many tricks seeing them play, which I started inculcating in my play. Things like breaking the defence chain and entering the D was something which I picked up after seeing them. Also working on speed was key and which I am working on myself in the training sessions presently”.
