Flynn was quoted “Representing your own country is very crucial for any cricketer; it is what you dream for as a kid, so to have achieved it is something I look back on with great satisfaction. The players I have played in my whole career stand out for me; they are not only good cricketers, but also good human beings, who I have learned a lot from both on as well as off the field.”
“Winning trophies for ND alongside these guys were always special, and those are memories that I will never forget.”
