Western Province batsman Zubayr Hamza has reiterated ambition to play for the Proteas again after making a return to professional cricket.
Hamza’s nine-month suspension ended earlier this week. He returned to the Western Province XI for Friday’s 74-run victory over the Rocks in the One Day Cup.
“Of course the goal would be to represent my country in any format again. Goals and plans should be set in the most simplest of ways,” said Hamza.
“The only way to get back into contention for any national team or higher honours would be through consistent performances or sheer weight of runs.
“There is the goal of representing my country again. Do I believe I am capable of this? Yes – definitely, without a doubt.
“Hopefully, I can earn that opportunity again sooner rather than later.”
The 27-year-old Hamza has been capped six times in Test cricket – and once in ODIs.
