Proteas bowler Lungi Ngidi is excited by the increasing fast-bowling stocks within the senior national team set-up, which has increased fierce competition among the players.

“That all comes down to selection because you don’t pick yourself. The other thing is that when I came in to play there were still Morne Morkel, Vernon Philander and Dale Steyn and for the majority of the first season I didn’t really get games.

“With time moving on, there were a couple of injuries and we also doesn’t play that many Test matches in a year. This year we are playing about eight and if I get to play all of those matches, I will catch up with almost four years of cricket. “You can miss one series and that is almost half of the season, but if we happen to play more Test cricket I am hoping to increase those numbers. In ODIs, I have played over 30 matches, the numbers are growing and I wouldn’t call myself a junior any more.

“I have played enough cricket to know what is required of me, even with those 13 Test matches I feel what I have to do now and what is required of me.”
