England T20 World Cup hopeful admits to "letting outside things get to me" in the past

Although England may not have enjoyed a great summer so far in white-ball cricket, left-arm seamer Reece Topley has been the standout performer.

Topley has endured a long and difficult road to get back in the England side after suffering a string of career-threatening injuries. The 28-year-old first played for England in 2015 and was part of the side that finished second at the 2016 T20 World Cup.

However, just two years later, Topley suffered a fourth stress fracture of the back which almost saw his career come to a premature end. He was forced to undergo surgery and took a year away from the game to rehab the injury, eventually returning to action in 2019 with Sussex.
