England's Billings '100% ready' if handed Test debut in Hobart

The Hindu  

Wicketkeeper-batter Sam Billings said he is "100% ready" to make his Test debut if he gets the nod for the final Ashes Test against Australia in Hobart after being brought into the England squad as cover for the injured Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow. Billings, 30, was recently in action for the Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League Twenty20 competition, and is due to play in England's T20I series against West Indies after the Ashes series concludes. "I am 100% ready if required, and I will give absolutely everything I can," Billings told reporters on Monday. "The three guys who came out to bat in Sydney with injuries, that's incredible courage," Billings added.
