‘Not worried about the future’<\/strong><\/h3>\nTahir added: “I’m not worried about (the) future of the team — there are a lot of youngsters.<\/p>\n
“I strongly believe there is lots of talent but they just need experience and then they’ll get to the stage where everyone wants to see South African cricket.<\/p>\n
“People expect higher and a lot from us -\u2013 this World Cup was totally different but I’m pretty sure things will be fine for South Africa.”<\/p>\n

Saturday’s match is set to be the first time Australia’s Steve Smith and David Warner have faced South Africa since they were involved in a ball-tampering scandal during a Test in Cape Town last year that saw both senior batsmen given 12-month bans.<\/p>\n
But Tahir, while confident the Proteas would not initiate any ‘sledging’ regarding Smith and Warner, said South Africa would not take a backward step if there were any ‘verbals’ from Australia.<\/p>\n
“If it’s coming from them, then obviously we won’t be holding back,” he said.<\/p>\n
“But I think it’s going to be a fair game of cricket. It’s at the back of everyone’s mind, but we don’t have to think about that. We are looking forward to the game.”<\/p>\n
Saturday’s match will, if he takes a wicket, provide Tahir with one last chance in a South Africa ODI shirt to demonstrate his now trademark celebration that sees him stand with arms aloft and then sprint in a large semi-circle around the infield.<\/p>\n
Tahir said he had no additional elements planned for his farewell appearance.<\/p>\n
“There won’t be anything extra because I don’t have a clue what I do when I take wickets to be honest with you!” explained a smiling Tahir.<\/p>\n
“I got to where I am today by coming through really tough times, so that’s probably why I want to release whatever is inside me.”<\/p>\n
