Chris Morris terms international cricket ‘different animal’

Chris Morris, who was bought for Rs 7 crore by Delhi Daredevils said he enjoyed IPL but termed international cricket as a different animal prior to his nation’s tri-series at the Caribbean.

“The IPL was a good one personally. I always see it as a good opportunity to learn more about yourself as a person and as a cricketer. It was a good year, I made a lot of new teammates and friends, but international cricket is a different animal. I will take a lot of confidence from the IPL but it’s good to be back playing international cricket,” said Morris.

His performance in IPL confirmed his role in the side as that of a proper all-rounder. With his national side not having a genuine all-rounder, he will be given the chance to shoulder the responsibility.

“It’s a big responsibility being an all-rounder in the team. It’s an opportunity I’m trying to grasp with two hands because that is what I want to do. I have put in a lot of hard work, especially on my batting, to have the opportunity. I look at it as an exciting part of my career, I’m at an age where I have an opportunity to cement my spot so hopefully I can do that.” told Morris.

He spoke about the squad and their preparation for the series. “The mood is good. It’s always good to be back in the Proteas camp. We had a good couple of days in Trinidad, even though the practice match was washed, out most of the guys had a good run and got some time on the feet in the field, that was important. It’s good to connect with the boys again, we have been away from each other for a while, it’s been great to connect and to look forward to another series for South Africa,” he added.
