Durban - Proteas all-rounder Albie Morkel admits he never lost hope of returning to the international fold and was looking forward to adding more than just his on-field skill to the South Africa squad.
The 32-year-old, recalled to the team for the ongoing Twenty20 series against Australia and forthcoming World T20 in Bangladesh, arrived in a wet Durban on Monday ahead of the second match of the series at Kingsmead on Wednesday.
The first game was abandoned on Sunday due to rain in Port Elizabeth meaning Morkel's return after 18 months in the cold was slightly delayed.
