Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has given his reason why he will not be giving Gaston Sirino a call-up for the national team.
The Uruguayan-born Sirino has been eligible to play for Bafana since last year, but despite performing at a high level in the league, first for Mamelodi Sundowns , and now for Kaizer Chiefs , hes never been included in Broos squads.
Calls for his inclusion grew loudest following the news that attacking lynchpin Themba Zwane is set for an extended period on the sidelines due to injury , but Belgian Broos has resisted those calls.
On Thursday after naming his squad for upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Uganda and South Sudan, Broos appeared to close the door for good for Sirino when he said it didnt make sense selecting someone his age.
I know that Sirino is a very good player. I know also that he can be very important for Chiefs but he is not really the type of player I want. Secondly, he is also 34 Sirinos real age is 33, I think, Broos said, according to .
