India and England and going to face each other from June 20 for a five-match Test series. The team selection for this tour is seen going to be done, and youngsters are going to be given a chance to play in this squad. Amid all this, India’s legend has shared his thoughts about willing to be named with others.
Indian team’s legendary batter Cheteshwar Pujara had an interaction, where he stated that he is ready for participation if he gets selected in the team for the England tour.
Pujara said, “I haven’t received a phone call yet. I am ready, I don’t know if they will take me along. If I get a chance, it will be an honour for me to represent the country. For a cricketer, if he is fit, scoring runs in domestic cricket and his preparation is great, he would be very happy to play for his country if he gets the opportunity.”
With Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retired from the format, Indian team will have a significant lack of experience. Cheteshwar Pujara will not only come to play at No. 4, but will also provide necessary experience in the team. His record in recent domestic cricket has been impressive.
Cheteshwar Pujara has player 27 Test matches against England, and has played 49 innings. He has scored 1778 runs, accompanied by 5 centuries and 7 half-centuries.
37-year-old Cheteshwar Pujara has played 103 Test matches for India, and has scored 7195 runs in the 176 innings he played. He has also scored 19 centuries in 35 half-centuries.
