Adding, &#8220;It was also going to be hard for us to add him to the team because he wasn&#8217;t on our provisional squad of 18 that we sent to ICC. If we had known in time, we would have definitely invited him for trials and our boot camp in South Africa. But calling him for the April showpiece is too abrupt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are aware of his talent and what he can do. We shall definitely consider him in future,&#8221; added Ligyalingi, who has also been appointed team manager for the Dubai- bound squad.<\/p>\n<p>Ochan expressed dismay after being snubbed but vowed to keep working on his game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have been working hard and our season ends in early April. My club would have let me go because we are not in the running for the title this season.
