Crane 'buzzing' at England recall, wants more than Insta celebrity

Mason Crane tells the Sky Sports Cricket Podcast: I dont want to just be a highlights reel bowler; watch Englands first game of ODI tri-series in Pakistan on Tuesday, against the hosts, live on Sky Sports Cricket from 8.30am (play starts 9am)

Mason Crane said he was "buzzing" to be back in the England fold, adding that his ambitions go beyond being a "highlights reel" leg-spinner as he looks to make the most of his second bite at international cricket.

Crane was capped three times as a 20-year-old, nine years ago, the last of which was his Test debut in the final match of England's 2017/18 Ashes tour in Sydney. He'd take a single wicket as the tourists signed off a 4-0 series drubbing with another defeat.

Speaking to the Sky Sports Cricket Podcast, Crane admitted that he was "resigned to the fact it may not come again" as a near decade passed without further recognition, until getting the call for England's upcoming ODI tri-series in Pakistan.

"I didn't really expect it, to be honest," Crane said. "It was a bit out of the blue. But it's really cool and I'm buzzing.
