Bengal’s batter Abhimanyu Easwaran is hoping that his debut for India will happen soon as he looks to fulfill his ultimate dream.
Easwaran, who has more than 6500 runs in 88 first-class games, was a standby player for the World Test Championship final and the Test series against England in 2021. The Bengal batter is currently with the India A side touring South Africa.
Speaking to PTI, Easwaran said that his only dream is to play for India and will keep pushing for it.
”To play for the country is the ultimate goal of any player who picks up the bat or the ball. People talk about me as an Indian cricketer but I haven’t made my debut yet. I hope that happens soon,”
”I have only one dream, that is to play for my country. I will not give up on it that easily. I will keep pushing for it.
”I will be making sure that I am well prepared for it. I hope that I will play for the country soon,” said Easwaran.
Easwaran was ruled out of the Vijay Hazare due to a split webbing. The Bengal batter, however, is hopeful that he can be fit in time for the first match against South Africa A and said he is well-prepared for the tour.
”I may play the first ‘A’ game in South Africa. The stitches will be cut on the 6th. Then the support staff and the medical team will take a call.”
”I have been to South Africa in 2021, so I have a fair idea about the conditions there. I have also worked on my batting according to the pace and bounce in those conditions. So yeah, I am very well-prepared,” said Easwaran.
Easwaran is also hopeful of finding a team in the IPL during the auction that will happen on December 19.
”I hope that I will be picked in the IPL this season. The auction is on the 19th (December). Let’s see what happens,”
