Srinagar, May 23: South African batsman Hashim Amla on Thursday said that he is hungry to represent his country at the upcoming World Cup.
Owing to fall in the form, the right-handed batsman was in doubt to make it to the South Africa’s World Cup squad. However, the selectors backed the swashbuckler for the all-important event.
Hashim doesn’t want to miss this opportunity,
“Things happen that you don’t anticipate and I did not anticipate how things have gone recently. But I am a firm believer that when something happens, there is some good in it. I have had time away and now I am really looking back to wearing the green and gold again,” ICC quoted Amla, as saying.
“I am hungrier than ever before, there is no doubt about that. I have been blessed to have this shirt for a while but the time off has made me want to come back stronger,” he added.
South Africa begins its campaign against hosts England on May 30.
