“Yeah, it’s been a whirlwind last sort of eight months,” Husband told aleagues.com.au.
“I never imagined myself to be standing here, especially right before a home Asian Cup.
“It’s a really, really special place to be. It’s been a wonderful environment to learn in, and a wonderful environment to obviously observe, to join.
