Luckily I was able to find some time to get away from the game, get away from cricket talk – Aiden Markram on T20 World Cup defeat

Aiden Markram (Image Credit- Twitter X) It has been almost two months since the final of the T20 World Cup 2024. South Africa had to face defeat in the final. The Indian team turned the match around in the last few overs and won by a close margin. In that match, South Africa remained in the match for 15 overs, but the Indian bowlers made a tremendous comeback in the next 5 overs. Captain Aiden Markram looked disappointed with this defeat? Recently, Markram has given a statement about that defeat and said that earlier it was difficult to digest the defeat, but now it is easy. In a press conference on Tuesday, Aiden Markram was asked a question related to the T20 World Cup. According to Cricbuzz, Markram said, “I should give it (defeat) as much time as it needs. It was very difficult to digest at that time. Certainly from then to now, it’s gotten a little better to handle. It’s easier to deal with and deal with it now.” The final of the T20 World Cup 2024 was played in Barbados on 29 June. South Africa had never played a World Cup final before and in their very first final, they came close to winning and missed out. I was able to take some time to get away from the game, get away from cricket talks- Aiden Markram South African veteran cricketer Aiden Markram further said, “The good thing is that I was able to take some time away from the game, away from cricket talks. It was good to be away from the game and reset myself. Everyone processes it in their own way. Probably the most important thing is to make sure that you are at peace during this time with how it all ended. So that you can move on and keep moving forward.” Let us tell you that the South African team will play a series of three T20 International matches against the host West Indies in Trinidad from Friday to Tuesday. This T20 team also has some players who played in the T20 World Cup final. These include captain Aiden Markram, Reeza Hendricks and Tristan Stubbs.

There are so many inspirations for people and playing for Australia is still on the agenda for me.” Got a chance to be selected in the team but Nick was unsuccessful Australian selectors gave Maddinson a chance to play in three Test matches at home in 2016, but when he failed in it, he was dropped from the team. Maddinson scored 27 runs in three matches and averaged 6.75 with the bat in four innings. However, the left-hander believes and his recent Shield record shows he is a “much better player” than he was a few years ago. Let’s know what he said about his recent performance- He said, “I have become a ten times better player, maybe even better. I think I am probably a better player than I was three or four years ago. The runs I scored last year gave me a lot of confidence, I was able to adapt myself and play in a different style. When you want to move your career forward, you have to adapt yourself and last year I felt I made really good progress.”
