Bhuvneshwar Kumar is currently at home for the last rites of his father. He was earlier dropped from India’s Test squad that will tour England for the marquee ICC World Test Championship final and subsequent England series.
It is expected that the pacer will be named in the limited overs squad when India will tour Sri Lanka in July.
Recently, Kumar also cleared the air by claiming that he is not willing to play the test format anymore. The pacer in response to the fake claims said that he has always prepared himself for all three formats regardless of the selection.
Further he said that the reporters need to clarify the whole statement before publishing it in the newspapers.
“There have been articles about me not wanting to play Test cricket. Just to clarify, I have always prepared myself for all three formats irrespective of the team selection and will continue to do the same. Suggestion – please don’t write your assumptions based on “sources”!,” said Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
