Dual-sport star Jess Duffin has declined an opportunity push her case for a return to international cricket, choosing not to play for Australia A next month so she can train with North Melbourne’s AFLW side.

Duffin, 30, is enjoying a stellar season for the Melbourne Renegades in the Women’s Big Bash League, having blasted 371 runs at 61.83 with a strike rate of 144.92.

Such form has thrust Duffin back into the conversation for national selection, more than four years after the most recent of her 99 internationals for Australia.

Duffin was sounded out by national selectors about playing for Australia A in the upcoming series against India A in Queensland, which features three one-dayers and three Twenty20s. However despite a home T20 World Cup being less than three months away, and having last week declared that she remained interested in playing again for Australia, Duffin told CA that she was not available for the ‘A’ series.
