ICC Champions Trophy 2017: Chris Morris keen on taking new ball for South Africa

Ahead of ICC Champions Trophy 2017 in England Wales, South Africa‘s all-rounder Chris Morris stated that he is keen on taking the new-ball responsibility in the marquee event. South Africa are placed in a tough group with Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka. South Africa begin their campaign against Angelo Mathews’ side on June 3. South Africa are termed favourites for the forthcoming event and, Morris, who was also in the squad for the last edition in 2013, believes his side can win it this time if they play to their potential. Chris Morris: I never wanted to quit cricket

“I would like to (take the new ball). I’ll even bowl spin if they want me to. But hopefully, I do get an opportunity to show what I can do. Competition is healthy and we are all men and there’s a lot of testosterone flying around, but at the end of the day we just want to win games for the Proteas and win the tournament. So, whoever plays, I’m sure he is giving his best out there and if I have to carry drinks, I’ll be the best drinks carrier there is”, Morris told Independent before leaving from South Africa.

Add Cricket Country as a Preferred Source

“It is a privilege to be at another ICC Champions Trophy for South Africa. It is going to be fun. I remember back then… Davey (Miller), myself and Dale were the single guys on that tour. We were actually talking about it just now, had a lot of fun, ‘The Three Musketeers’. I really believe we have a good chance of winning it, so going to go out there and just give it our best shot”, concluded the 30-year-old all-rounder.
