Swepson Eyes Test Comeback Against Sri Lanka, Says 'baggy Green Is My Motivation'
While some cricketers might be content with simply achieving a Test debut, for Swepson, the brief taste of life as a Test cricketer has only fueled his hunger for more. Yet, his cherished Baggy Green isn’t just a memento—it’s a powerful reminder of what he’s working towards. Safely stored downstairs, away from the reach of his energetic 18-month-old son Beauden, it’s a daily motivator that pushes him to reclaim his spot in the Australian side.
“He’d have his way with it,” Swepson joked on the Unplayable Podcast when discussing how carefully he protects the Baggy Green from his young son. “It's downstairs tucked away nicely, not packed away, so it's still there as a little reminder. I have to walk past it most mornings. So it's a good motivator, but it's definitely out of reach of the young fella.”
