Matthew Hayden urged to make comeback for 2012 T20 World Cup

Former Australian opening batsman Matthew Hayden’s fitness guru has urged him to consider nominating himself for selection in the national team for next year’s Twenty20 World Cup.

“Mate, my only request, make yourself available for the Aussie T20 team for next year’s World Cup. Australia would love to see you take us to another World Cup win that would make it your third,” the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Campbell, as saying.

Campbell also says that the 40-year-old will be one of the stars of the Big Bash League after he committed himself to Brisbane Heat’s 16-week pre-season training program.
 
“For the last 16 weeks, Matthew has made it his priority to get his body and cricket skills right for Twenty20 cricket. He did two blocks of six weeks and one of four to prepare and it has involved three gym sessions a week; two running; at least two cricket skills sessions, but sometimes more; two physiotherapy and massage sessions to ensure everything was right. He’s also had weekly acupuncture,” he said.
