Nathan Ellis is one of the finest death over bowler Australia have ever produced and the gun bowler was picked up for the June's T20 World Cup in the USA and the Caribbeans.

Ellis was ecstatic when his national team kit arrived at his place in Hobart. He put on the green helmet and wore the training kit and clicked a photo to hang this in his Menai's house.

"When I go back to look at that, to see how excited I was just to get the training kit, it's a good chance to get a little bit of perspective," Ellis tells cricket.com.au from India, where he has been an unused member of the Punjab Kings IPL squad.

"It's just an amazing 'pinch me' moment as to how fast it's happened over the last few years."

He has now played 22 times for Australia's white-ball sides, but only once on home soil. When he took a hat-trick on international debut in Dhaka, it was not shown on Australian television. 

Ellis also talks about Australia's big trio - Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood and their contributions to modern Australian team.

"They've been so good for so long and have done so well for us," he says. "For me to even question that just doesn't feel right.
"You read the list and see my name next to those guys and there is a part of me that just goes, 'Wow.'
