Durham wicketkeeper Phil Mustard is enjoying playing international cricket after helping England to a Twenty20 series win over New Zealand.

The 25-year-old made a decent 40 with the bat as England secured a result and the left-hander is unfazed by the attention that comes with touring.

He told the BBC: "I don't think there were all eyes on me but I just felt it was a good opportunity to impress.

"Twenty20 is a game of attack and is full of attacking shots."

We're moving forward in the right direction

Sunderland-born Mustard also feels that the England side is ready to build on their Twenty20 success with the one-day games.

"I think it's got the potential to go very far, we did it in Sri Lanka in good style, we're moving forward in the right direction," he added.
