Boxing Day Test: Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey believes there is a lot of T20 cricket still left in him as he relives a tremendous 2023 season that has steeled him to further his fortunes in all formats of the game.

A year after his triumphant maiden Test century against South Africa at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), the 32-year-old found himself entrenched in Australia's world-leading Test team, gearing up for the upcoming clash against Pakistan on December 26.

However, fate had dealt Carey a dual hand, sidelining him from short-form cricket. The pain of being dropped from the Australian squad during the ODI World Cup still lingered.
