Matthew Wade has revealed he almost missed last Sunday’s T20 World Cup final, playing with a side strain sustained in training the day before the match.
"If I had have woken up and I couldn't swing the bat, I wouldn't have played,” Wade told cricket.com.au.
"I was worried that if we'd batted first and I had to go as hard as I could and I tore it then, I wouldn't be able to keep and that would hurt the team a lot.”
