BRENDAN Nash says his hope to re-find a love of cricket inspired his rapid transition from the Test arena to Melbourne’s suburban scene and his surprise signing for Doutta Stars.
The former West Indies vice captain, barely a week settled in Moonee Valley, made 13 and took three wickets at the weekend as Doutta Stars lost to Westmeadows in the opening round of Victorian Turf Cricket Association…
Nash’s manager had fielded a WA offer but a quick negotiation period with Doutta Stars sealed a deal.
“This is the next step in my career – to come back and see if I can get the love of the game,” Nash said.
“These guys at this level are playing for the love of it and that’s the feeling I want to get back. That was why I started playing the game and I hope the group helps me get that spirit back.
“It was just by chance that the opportunity came up at the right time.
“It came to fruition in a few days and I had to decide on moving. There’s no regrets, that’s for sure.”
Nash said it had been about a year since he he had stopped worrying about off-field issues and his on-field performances were good.
“Maybe I felt it slipping away, so that’s why I’m trying to grasp it again before it goes,” he said.
“At this stage I’m not coming back [to Jamaica] for a while, until further notice. I was thinking about leaving because things weren’t going the way I’d hoped, to be honest … more personal reasons, so I wanted to come back to Australia.”
