The South African fast bowler Lungi Ngidi is very thrilled about the chance of bringing the World Test Championship trophy home. It would be a major turning point in South African cricket, having experienced so many years of sorrow in achieving an ICC title. On Wednesday, they will be walking into the final against the defending champions Australia, hoping that after seven back-to-back victories, fortune could finally smile on them.
Ngidi remarked, “I can’t really express how much this means to me. We’ve come close a few times in other tournaments, but to win this would be a dream.” He added that a victory could shift the attention back to Test cricket in South Africa.
Much has been made about players like Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen leading into the final, but Ngidi says that he is feeling ready for the challenge. “I’ve had plenty of time to prepare. Playing at Lord’s is every cricketer’s dream. I’ve been there before, and it was such an amazing experience, even with the nerves. This time, I feel much calmer. There’s a lot at stake, but with Test cricket, the process stays the same, and that helps me stay relaxed.”
