Former Bafana Bafana captain Thulani 'Tyson' Hlatshwayo has gracefully accepted his continued exclusion from the national team and believes that sparkling displays at his club Orlando Pirates are the only way to convince coach Hugo Broos to take him back.
Thulani Hlatshwayo of Orlando Pirates during the CAF Confederation Cup match against Enyimba at Orlando Stadium on March 17 2021 in Johannesburg. He's backing coach Hugo Broos's endeavour to introduce young talent into the Bafana Bafana squad.
The 31-year-old Hlatshwayo, who has earned 48 Bafana caps and scored four goals, also wished the current team, led by new skipper Ronwen Williams, all the best in the back-to-back 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers against Ethiopia in the coming days. “It’s our national team and each and every player who’s good enough deserves to be in the national team, be it the captain or no captain, but he deserves to be in the national team.
“You know sometimes we don’t want to mention it as players, that it’s time for change, and before us there were people there. We also came and took over from your Sangweni and Morgan Gould who were there before us.
