Sept 13 (Reuters) - England bowling all-rounder David Willey said he is ready to do the "donkey" work if it will help him secure a place in the squad for the upcoming Cricket World Cup after missing out on the last edition.
Willey had been in the running for England's 2019 World Cup squad but was ditched to make way for Barbados-born fast bowler Jofra Archer.
I'd have given my left arm to be a part of the last World Cup.
Willey has managed to stay injury-free for much of his career and said his robustness could be crucial for England over the six-week tournament.
"Call me a donkey if you want, but to take a donkey out to what could be a tough trip, you just might need a donkey," he said.
