After impressing on his debut season, Newport-born Kellaway has been selected to represent Welsh Fire again this year.
Alongside fellow youngsters such as Tom Norton, he has helped propel Glamorgan forwards in what has been their first season back in the Championship since 2005.
“Having a little opportunity last year was awesome to get stuck in, it’s a very similar format to T20 but it takes a bit of getting used to,” said Kellaway.
“The standard of cricketers that play in it are world class so you raise your game a little bit again.
“As you go up those levels you’ve got no choice but to get stuck in and express yourself and hopefully you can come out with some good performances and some success.”
Alongside fellow Glamorgan team-mate and England Lions team-mate Asa Tribe, Kellaway will be sharing a dressing room some of the biggest names in cricket.
They include former World cup winners and England internationals Joe Root and Chris Woakes and will be captained by Welsh-born England T20 opener Phil Salt.
“It’s going to be really nice to share a dressing room with some of those players and any opportunities I get to play this year I’ll snatch at them,” Kellaway said.
“Just to be surrounded by these guys for a month or so, training and outside of cricket of life as well, I can feed off them and ask them questions, it’s invaluable for a youngster like me.”
