Cross has spoke ahead of making his debut and sees it as a massive honour and he can’t wait to represent his country. He is excited about teaming with Chisnall as well as competing in a new tournament for him in the form of pairs. "It's a massive honour and I can't wait to represent my country - it's not something you get to do very often so it means a lot," said Cross. "It's a completely different tournament for me too with it being a pairs format, but I'm excited about teaming up with Dave. "England have done well in the past so there's something to live up to, but we'll do our best this weekend. I'm buzzing."
