Finn Allen, explosive opening batter has been included in the New Zealand side for the T20 World Cup 2022 which will begin from next month onwards. Allen has been pretty impressive ever since he made his international debut.
However, Allen hasn't been a regular in the limited overs side mainly due to the presence of seasoned opener Martin Guptill. The talismanic batter has been a long standing servant of New Zealand cricket and continues to deliver for them in international cricket.
Allen, who replaced Guptill at the top of the order in the third ODI against Australia in Cairns earlier this month, said he wasn't worried about the competition for the opening spot.
"It's not really a fight, I think. He's done it for so long. And he’s got so many accolades in New Zealand. He's such an incredible player,” Allen was quoted as saying to the reporters.
"For me, I'm just grateful for opportunities to be in the squad and to get my chances when I can. I just look at it like that. I try not to put too much pressure on (from) that sort of stuff," he stated.
