“I’m happy and excited because when you go to play in a big event, you have a different excitement. Every cricketer’s goal is to play in a World Cup, so this feeling overwhelms me. The hope is always to lift the trophy, but for that to happen, we have to play top-class cricket against every team,” he said.
