EXCLUSIVE: 'Hungy' David Bedingham wants his Proteas Test place back after twin tons for WP
David Bedingham wants his Proteas Test place back, and the top-order batter says so without hesitation.
David Bedingham, the right-handed batsman, is eager to reclaim his place in the Proteas Test lineup. After achieving twin centuries in a match against the WP Cobras, Bedingham expressed his hunger and determination to perform well in future games. He credits his mentor, former Proteas batting coach Dale Benkenstein, for helping simplify his technique and clearing his mind during the winter.
The 32-year-old emphasized the importance of not overthinking every ball and trusting his instincts, which led to an impressive season with over 1,000 runs for Durham and 129 in each innings of the match against the Dolphins. Bedingham's exceptional performance could not come at a better time, as he was previously left out of the Proteas squads for tours to Pakistan and India.
However, with the team set to face Australia, Bangladesh, and England at home this season, Bedingham is hopeful to earn a spot in the national team. He remains open to playing at any position within the lineup, stating that he would be happy to bat at any number if given the opportunity.
