He said the process mentally affected him ahead of the home series against West Indies earlier this month.

David Warner however admitted that he never considered opting out of the two-match series.

"Leading into the Perth Test, my mental health probably wasn't where I needed it to be at to be 100 percent," he said.

He continued, "and that was challenging at the time. If I had it my way we would have had it all sorted."
