the left-handed batter said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I can score as many runs as I can and help contribute to wins, then hopefully, eventually people&#8217;s opinions might change.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While he often had to sit out in the past, Malan has been in red-hot form in recent months grabbing every possible opportunity to cement his place in the side.<\/p>\n<p>His conversation rate has been particularly impressive.<\/p>\n<p>Since June last year, Malan crossed the 50-mark nine times and converted six of them into hundreds.<\/p>\n<p>The batter attributed it to his hunger for runs that would keep him in the team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just hungry, hungry to play and to do well, hungry to score runs and win games of cricket,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve wanted to be part of this team for so long, it&#8217;s been impossible to break into with the players that have been so good.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, to get your opportunity and try and take it and enjoy it as long as it lasts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>World Cup 2023<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rediff.com\/cricket\/report\/icc-wc-hungry-malan-out-to-silence-critics-and-prove-he-belongs\/20231011.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>England opener Dawid Malan feels the pressure in every series he plays and believes the only way to lift it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":317263,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&#039;Hungry&#039;
