Karun Nair got close to his long-standing dream of playing again for the senior men’s cricket team on Friday as he got selected in the India A squad that will be touring England. After some eye-catching performances in domestic cricket, Nair is finally just one good run away from making it to the senior India squad again. Nair made his India debut in 2016 but failed to play longer for the side despite scoring a triple hundred in Tests. Once he got out of the team, he never returned. After being dropped out of the Karnataka state side in 2022, he posted a heartfelt note on social media. “Dear cricket, give me one more chance,” Nair had written on X.
An impressive performance for India A in England will definitely open the doors for the right-handed batter, especially at a time when Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have quit the format.
Recalling Nair’s 2022 social media post, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan took to X to write, “Karun Nair getting selected for India A is clear indication that Dear cricket will him give him another chance to play for team India again.”
