Graeme Swann wants to play as much cricket for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 as possible – Cricket News Update
England’s premier spin bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501, has openly said that there is way too much One Day cricket being played these days, but has refused to retire from this format of the game and expressed that he wants to play for England as much as possible.
Swann is not happy with the schedule of the English cricket team and believes that the Poms must preserve their players. This is the reason why he feels that cricket officials should give more importance to Test cricket and T20 internationals.
England has recently become the number one ranked Test team of the world as they white-washed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 in the four-match series at home. The off-spinner has been an integral part of England’s success in the last couple of years and is rated as the best spin
bowler in International cricket at the moment along with Pakistan’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859.
Swann was ignored by the English selectors for a long period earlier in his career and this is the reason why he is not ready to quit the game in the near future and seems very hungry to do well for the English team. However, he does insist that there should
be less 50-over matches.
"I do think we play way too much of it and the idea of a seven-match series in India next winter is ridiculous. But I won't hang up my one-day boots because I missed so much cricket for England over the eight years before I got back in, that I don't think
I'd forgive myself if I started to pick and choose what I played," he said.
While talking about his love for the game of cricket, Swann said that it is going to be very difficult for him to leave the game as he has loved it since childhood.
Swann said, "That would turn me into the player I don't want to be and the sort of bloke I don't want to be, because I love playing for England so much."
England is scheduled to take on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 (UAE) and the series promises to be a thrilling one as both the teams seem to be playing very good cricket at the moment.
