Cricket: "Australia include Dirk Nannes in Twenty20 Matches with England"

Dirk Nannes the name which flashes through minds of IPL lovers. He represented Holland recently in Twnety20 World cup. Even though he played for Holland in the recently concluded World Twenty20 cup, Dirk Nannes is included in Australian team because Holland is an associate member of the ICC and Holland doesn't have full membership rights. But once he represents Australia he will not be permitted to play for Holland again.

Dirk Nannes is 33-year-old, who represented Victoria and was a star performer for Victoria in the KFC Twenty20 Big Bash tournaments, when he was not selected for World Twenty20 squad he thought he would never get selected for Australia in future.

He played England in the recently Concluded World Twenty20 where he helped Holland to an historic final-ball victory at Lord's. He has not taken a wicket in this match but contained the run flow. He believes playing for Holland really helped him in his career.

"That moment of winning the game against England at Lord's was probably the best sporting moment I have had and I will never forget that." he said.

As far as the future goes, Nannes is not thinking about a Test call up any time soon, he is just hopeful of performing well enough for Australia to be considered for selection in the future, in particular next year's World Twenty20 in the Caribbean.
