Fifth of December, 2023, Abu Dhabi: Prior to the Morrisville Samp Army’s matchup with the Bangla Tigers in the Abu Dhabi T10 of 2023, on Tuesday, experienced batsman Faf du Plessis discussed his chances of returning to the international game. The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is scheduled to take place in less than six months, and India is scheduled to tour South Africa for three Twenty20 internationals in December. Rumors have been circulating that Faf and a few other veteran players may be returning for an international spell.
During the pre-match broadcast interview, Faf du Plessis responded, “I think I can return to international cricket as well,” when asked about the same. For the past few years, we have been discussing this. Finding the right balance for the T20 World Cup in 2019 is all that’s left to do. We have definitely talked about it with the new coach. Keep an eye on this area.”
Despite his advanced age, the 39-year-old is one of the fittest cricket players at the moment. Faf du Plessis responded, “I do a lot of hard work to ensure I look after my body to be able to play this brilliant game we love so much,” when questioned about his exercise regimen. You have to make sure you put in the work when you do get a little older. The hamstring and other body parts would not function as well otherwise. To ensure that you can play against the world’s top players, there is a lot of quick-running and other requirements.
The former captain of South Africa is competing in the Abu Dhabi T10 for the second time. Morrisville Samp Army, led by Faf du Plessis, defeated the Bangla Tigers by six wickets on Tuesday to maintain their top spot in the standings. Faf remarked, “It is definitely easier the second time around,” regarding his experiences in the fastest version of cricket. When I initially arrived, I mistakenly believed that T20 and T10 were really similar. It’s significantly dissimilar. My first year was definitely one of education. I feel a little more at ease laboring on the first ball now.
Faf du Plessis also mentioned how the Abu Dhabi T10 has proven to be a successful venue for the development of fresh talent, which is why he thinks it is an interesting competition.
“The thing that excites me the most, in my opinion, is how many players genuinely surprise you. when you play a game against a player you haven’t played with before. Because the format is so short and requires peak performance to compete with the available skillset, effectiveness can occur on any given day, regardless of the title,” he concluded.
