BEN Hunt has outlined the massive turmoil his unexpected inclusion in the Australian Kangaroos’ World Cup squad has thrown at him.

While honoured to be selected for the Kangaroos again after making his Test debut in 2014, Hunt had a few off-field things planned for the end of the year.

There is of course the major move to Sydney as he takes up a new contract with the Dragons.

But there are also the ‘minor’ matters of a wedding and honeymoon with partner Bridget.

Hunt said his selection had brought about some serious discussions and changing of plans around his November wedding.

"I have a few things coming up - we have a wedding booked on November third and a honeymoon overseas," he said.

"We are going to have to change a few things around now.

"It is a bit of a tough one - I didn't really expect this after playing Qld Cup during the middle of the year.

"I still have to have the conversation to find out if I can have the wedding day off from the camp to get married."

It has been an amazing year of highs and lows for Hunt.

He started the season on fire before a freak injury when he was hit after scoring a try in a 32-8 rout of the Roosters in April.

He was out for nearly two months with that hamstring injury, and dipping form on his return had coach Wayne Bennett send him back to the Queensland Cup with Ipswich to work on his game.

In Hunt's stoic style he did just that, and returned to the NRL to show enough form to land his Origin debut for Queensland.

Then when good mate Andrew McCullough was ruled out for the season with a knee injury, Hunt was forced into the pack.

It was ultimately the great form he showed as hooker that convinced Kangaroos' coach Mal Meninga he would be good back up in the World Cup.

"I can't really explain it to be honest - it has been one of the weirdest years I have been a part of," he admitted.

"I started well, then I had a few injuries and then I was back in Queensland Cup.

"Then I was back in the team and Andrew (McCullough) got injured so I moved to hooker.

"I was lucky enough to play for Queensland and now I get to call up for Australia.

"It's been a pretty amazing year.

"I have always tried to approach football like that - wherever a coach wants you to play, or if you get dropped - you can't really keep your head down.

"You just have to perform your best and get back in the team."
