The 20-year-old from East London‚ who also doubles up as wicketkeeper‚ made his First Class and List A debuts last year but his recent performances in the Momentum One Day Cup did not go unnoticed by the selectors.
He has scored 277 runs after nine matches in the One Day Cup‚ which includes two half centuries and one century‚ and his highest score is an unbeaten 121. Qeshile said it would be a reward for the hard yards he has done over the past few years and to the many people who have supported him if he makes the cut."I would know that the work of the past few years has actually paid off‚” he said after training in Centurion on Thursday afternoon."But at the moment I just want to stay in the present and focus on what is in front of me.
"I would like to achieve big things for myself in the game but it will obviously take some time to develop my game.“Family wise‚ I looked up to my mom because she has always been supportive of my dreams. "I also speak to a lot of friends in the Warriors team‚” he said‚ admitting that he feels the burden of expectation."I just focus on myself and not worry about all those distractions.“I always want to get myself in at the crease and I also try to catch up in the end‚" he said."I started my first franchise season last year."I scored fifties in the longer format which fell short of a hundred‚ but that form has helped me with confidence going into the limited overs format.
