Hussey over the moon after getting call to join Oz World Cup squad
March 7th, 2011 - 12:51 pm ICT by ANISydney, Mar 7 (ANI): Mike Hussey is “out of this world” after getting a call to join the Australian World Cup squad
Hussey was told of his World Cup recall during Sunday’s tea break in the Sheffield Shield match between Western Australia and Queensland at the WACA Ground.
The 35-year-old, who was part of the initial squad but then axed following a hamstring injury, will fly off to the subcontinent tomorrow.
“Just going is a bit of a dream come true but to actually be there as part of a winning Australian team would be out of this world, so let’s hope,” The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Hussey, as saying on Monday.
“I feel very excited and can’t wait to get over there and catch up with the boys. I’ve had lots of messages from the boys already so I’m just excited to get over there really,” he said.
Hussey, who replaces injured paceman Doug Bollinger, said his time at the crease and in the field gave him confidence his hamstring would hold up to the rigours of one-day cricket. (ANI)
