Shane Watson: Hungrier than ever to do well in CPL 2016

Shane Watson has admitted that he is hungrier than ever to do well in his maiden appearance in the star-studded Caribbean Premier League (CPL). He is set to make his CPL debut with St Lucia Zouks. Watson was impressive with the ball for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the ninth edition of Indian Premier League (IPL). Although he failed to lead them to a victory in the final, Watson is high on confidence, especially when the competition level is very high in CPL. The other five Australians who will be seen in action in CPL 2016 along with Watson are Mike Hussey, Brad Hodge, Alex Ross, Chris Lynn and Adam Zampa.

“I had made a few tweaks on the technical side of my bowling and mentally I was trusting my own instincts a bit more, which helped me achieve better consistency. I’ve had a better run of consistently better days than previously in my career. Even though one door has now closed on my career, I’m as hungry as ever to keep on learning, keep improving my own skills and hopefully keep on contributing to the team,” the recently turned 35-year-old said.

Watson and Hussey who played for Big Bash League’s Sydney Thunders, are set to be reunited and will be joined by David Miller, Darren Sammy, Andre Fletcher, Morne Morkel and Denesh Ramdin among the big names.
