Cape Town City keeper Darren Keet is unsure and shocked why he is excluded from the Bafana Bafana squad by coach Hugo Broos.
Keet has been a notable absentee in coach Hugo Broos’ Bafana side since his return from Europe but the City keeper hopes he will return to the team., Keet says he is not done with Bafana and will look to remain consistent and land a spot for the 2023 AFCON tournament.
Keet said this as Bafana are in action on Tuesday night against AFCON hosts, Cote d’Ivoire away from home in an international friendly.The former Bidvest Wits keeper, Keet was one of Bafana’s first option keepers under previous coaches such as Gordon Igesund, Stuart Baxter, and Molefi Ntseki.“I’ve never said I am done with Bafana and I’ll never say that.
“I am always trying to push for a place, first of all in the XI at my club, and then in the national team.“I do add a lot of experience in terms of I’ve also been to two Afcons. “I’ve been to pretty much most of the Bafana camps since I was 19 years old, so playing for Bafana is something I’ve always worked for.”The 34-year-old gloveman says he is not concerned about his age as it is not the reason Broos continues to overlook him – he has 13 Bafana caps.At the moment, Bafana have Veli Mothwa, Ronwen Williams, and Ricardo Goss who are all in line to make it to the AFCON showpiece.
“I am really not sure why they are not taking me because it can’t be because of my age because I am two years older than Ronwen and Veli is also 34 ,” adds Keet.“And at the end of the day as keepers, you want the experience…you want the keepers that have been there.”Stakes are high as Kaizer Chiefs face off against AmaZulu fc in Carling Knockout clash
