The last 18 months haven’t been great for South Africa veteran Hashim Amla but the 36-year-old is claiming that he is hungrier than ever before to step out on the field and make his presence felt in the 2019 World Cup.
Amla, who has amassed over 18,000 international runs, has struggled heavily in all formats of the game and it was only because of his experience the southpaw was selected in the South African squad for the marquee event.
“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,” ICC quoted Amla, as saying.
“I have had time away and now I am really looking back to wearing the green and gold again.
“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.”
