Sydney: Injury-plagued Australia bowler Shaun Tait has no regrets over his decision to play only limited-overs cricket, insisting it has allowed him more time to enjoy his game.
The 27-year-old quit Tests in 2008 and has been concentrating all his recent efforts on Twenty20 and 50-over games and the rewards have already started to come through.
Tait, currently in South Africa preparing to turn out for South Australia in the Champions League Twenty20, said: "I haven't played a four-day match or a Test for some years now, and it's paid dividends for my body."
"I should be able to stay on the park for a good amount of time now, and Twenty20s are enjoyable. To play in a competition like this is a great thing, so I'm pretty happy with the decision I made," he added.
The Adelaide-born paceman recently made history when he sent down a delivery that registered at 161.1kph (100.1mph) for Australia against England at Lord's - the second fastest delivery of all time.
Surprisingly, he has never bowled in South Africa and is relishing the prospect.
He continued: "I've never had a chance to bowl in South Africa. But South Africa's always traditionally been a good place to bowl quick."
Tait, who also plays for the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL), does not believe the three teams from that lucrative competition - Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians - have an advantage over the other teams.
He added: "It's a good chance for all the countries to put their best teams on the park and see how they measure up against each other."
They have the big-gun players and the Sri Lankan team (Wayamba) are pretty talented themselves, so it's a big raffle about who's going to make the final.
The Redbacks suffered a setback in their preparations for the tournament with a five-wicket loss to Wayamba in their final warm-up match.
Dan Christian (44) and Cam Borgas (38) helped South Australia to a competitive 8-155, but experienced international Mahela Jayawardena (56) led Wayamba to victory with 10 balls to spare.
The Redbacks are in Group B for the September 10-26 tournament alongside Mumbai, Bangalore, West Indian champions Guyana and local side Lions, against whom they open their campaign in Pretoria on Sunday.
