My ultimate dream is to play Test cricket, says Moises Henriques – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Moises-Henriques-c2021, is keen to make a return to the international stage and expressed that his ultimate dream is to represent his country in Test cricket.
The 25-year-old cricketer, having impressed the selectors at the Sheffield Shield level, made his way to the global arena in 2009, playing a couple of One Day Internationals (ODIs) and a T20 for the Baggy Greens. The talented all-rounder however, has been out of international cricket since then, waiting for another opportunity to prove his mettle.
Of late, Henriques has been doing exceedingly well in the limited-over cricket in Australia’s domestic sport, also helping the Sydney Sixers clinch the title in the Champions League T20 2012, played in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils in the Indian Premier League.
The Portugal-born player has been doing brilliantly in the on-going first-class season, having registered his maiden century in the four-day format.
Henriques is working extremely hard to enhance his game and fitness, focusing to win more and more matches for New South Wales. The all-rounder understands that only consistent performances will earn him a place in the Kangaroos’ Test team.
“That's everyone's dream is to play Test cricket for Australia,” he said while speaking to ESPNcricinfo. “My first and short-term goals are to win games for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823 and to hopefully stay on the park for a full season and win a couple of tournaments. After that, by showing as an individual that you can win games for your team and help your team have a successful season, that's how I see myself getting selected.”
The New South Wales cricketer thinks that being an all-rounder is a massive advantage for him as he gets multiple opportunities to perform with both bat and ball.
“That's the beauty of being an all-rounder - if it's not suiting your batting it's more than likely going to be suiting your bowling,” Henriques expressed.
In order get a chance to represent Australia in Tests, Henriques needs to work extremely hard as he has got a fierce competitor in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558, who is considered to be one of the finest all-rounders of world-cricket.
