The entertaining Australian player posted the following statement:
“I am so disappointed to have to miss the upcoming Tokyo Olympics after having tested positive for COVID-19 this week, just a few days before I was scheduled to depart.
I was really looking forward to representing Australia and being part of the team in Tokyo. I will support the entire delegation now from home, and can’t wait to have the opportunity to wear the Green and Gold in Paris in 2024. I will be back!!”
