While batting down the order, he smashed 186 runs in eight innings, at an average of 37.20. He scored those runs at a strike rate of 216.27, including 12 boundaries and 16 sixes.

Till now, he played for Singapore in 14 matches. David has scored 558 runs so far. But, he was keen to play for Australia. Regarding that, he also had a talk with Australia’s chairman of selectors George Bailey. Now, reports are circulating that he is going to be a part of the Australian team for the next T20 World Cup. However, he will join the team as an uncontracted freelancer for Australia. Veteran batter, David Warner also experienced this when he made his T20I debut without a contract.
