INTER Milan striker Antonio Cassano said he is still mystified about why he has been left on the sidelines by Italy coach Cesare Prandelli.
Cassano has made 35 appearances for the senior national side but played no part in its World Cup qualifying campaign so far.
The 30-year-old, who switched from AC Milan to Inter, said however he has not given up on what would be his first World Cup appearance if Italy qualifies.
"I don't know why I haven't been selected but I remain hopeful that I'll be considered all the way up to the World Cup," Cassano said. "I feel a bit annoyed that journalists know five days before I did that I wasn't going to be picked. I hope to go to the World Cup but if it doesn't happen it's not a tragedy."
