Murali Vijay, former team India?s test batter, has taken a sharp dig at the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) as he said he is now looking for cricketing opportunities abroad after being done with the Indian cricket board.?



In the interview with WV Raman, Vijay expressed his desire to play competitive cricket again, after being axed from the Indian side for nearly four years.&nbsp;



Notably, Murali Vijay last featured for team India back in 2018 when India toured Australia. The opener batter was featured in the Perth test and since then he has been overlooked for the selection owing to his poor run of form. Meanwhile, his domestic career with Tamil Nadu also saw a complete break post 2019 Ranji Trophy. Vijay was part of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) last year and since then he has been out of cricket action completely.?



?I am almost done with BCCI (smiles) and looking for opportunities abroad. I want to play little bit of competitive cricket,? Vijay told WV Raman on Wednesdays with WV, a weekly show on Sportstar.

</div></figure>



Murali Vijay has scored over 3900 runs in 61 test games with 12 centuries and 15 half-centuries. In 17 ODI games, the batter has amassed 339 runs with just a solitary fifty.



The opener batter was at his peak during India?s England tour in 2014 when he faced over 1000 test deliveries. While most cricket fans would remember that tour for Virat Kohli?s terrible show, they certainly missed out on the grit shown by Vijay.&nbsp;



Vijay further opined how people perceive players on the basis of their age, which according to him needs a change.



?After 30 in India, it?s a taboo (smiles). I think people see us as 80-year-olds walking on street. The media should also address it differently. I feel you are peaking in your 30s. Sitting here right now, I feel I can bat the best way I can. But unfortunately, the opportunities were less, and I had to search for chances outside.



?I honestly feel as a person, you can only do what?s in your hand. You can?t control the uncontrollable. Whatever happened happened.?



Interestingly, there have been instances in the past as well when Indian cricketers have shown interest in taking part in cricket actions abroad after getting ignored by the selectors.

"I am excited to announce that I will be exploring new opportunities in the world of cricket and the business side of it, where I will also continue to participate in the sport that I love and challenge myself in new and different environments," Murali wrote.



The 38-year-old veteran wrote, ?To all the cricket fans that have supported me through the ups and downs of international sport, I will forever cherish the moments I spent with you all, and your support has always been a source of motivation for me.?



Vijay was one of the most elegant batters in the opening positions. In 61 Tests, he amassed 12 Test hundreds and 15 half-centuries. He collected 3982 runs, averaging 38.28. While playing with Chennai Super Kings, the Tamil Nadu player also made an impact on the Indian Premier League. The IPL's top batsman scored 2619 runs at a strike rate of 121.87 from 106 games while scoring two hundreds.

Vijay, who was once India's go-to Test opener, had lost favor after a succession of mediocre appearances in the 2017-18 season. Vijay was dropped by the Indian team management during the second Test match in Perth, Australia.

Murali Vijay: The<a href="https://www.bcci.tv"> Indian Cricket Team </a>has been been a dominant force in World Cricket. The prime reason behind that is the kind of batters and bowlers they have been producing over a long period of time. Over the years, be it bowlers or batters, many stalwarts have graced the Indian jersey and have put in every possible effort to help the team achieve great heights.



The baton in Indian cricket from one generation to another has been passed on successfully. The current Indian team is a mixture of both veterans and youngsters. But with the kind of talent that is there these days, it?s fair to say that the future of the team is in safe hands and once the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, R Ashwin and others call time on their career, there won?t be any problems as the juniors by then will already stamp their authority.&nbsp;



<h2>Murali Vijay picks his Top 4 next batting superstars in India</h2>

With Indian youngsters already making themselves a name in world cricket, former Indian cricketer Murali Vijay has been named the top 4 next batting superstars in India. According to him, these players will rule cricket over the next decade.?



Vijay picked Shubman Gill as the top player in his list. The young batter has already set the stage on fire in his short international career. Many tout him as the next face of Indian cricket as he is currently the most consistent batter in world cricket. The 23-year already has ODI double century, Test century and T20I century. With the way he is going, it is likely that he will rule Indian cricket for a while.?

Prithvi Shaw is the second batter in Murali Vijay?s top 4 next batting superstars in India. The Mumbaikar is among the most exciting talents in India and has made his debut for the team in all three formats. However, he hasn?t played for India for a while but has been consistently scoring runs in the domestic circuit and is knocking on the doors of the selectors. He also scored a Test century on his debut for India.&nbsp;



Rishabh Pant, who already has achieved many extraordinary feats in his career so far, is also among the four batters picked by Vijay. The keeper batter has played many famous knocks for India and ever since MS Dhoni left, he has made the keeping spot in the team his own. He single-handedly has won many games for India and is currently the best wicketkeeper going around in the world of cricket. He?s currently out of action due to the accident he suffered last year and is likely to return to action later this year.?

The last batter picked by Vijay is Shreyas Iyer. The Kolkata Knight Riders skipper has been the mainstay of the Indian batting lineup in both Tests and ODIs and has a decent record in T20Is as well. Iyer too has bailed India out of trouble many times and has won them games. He will crucial for India?s chances in the upcoming WTC Final 2023 and Cricket World Cup 2023.&nbsp;

After one month of enthralling Test cricket between India and Australia, it?s time for the white-ball series between the two cricketing heavyweights. The Rohit Sharma-led side pounded the visitors by the margin of 2-1 in the Test series and would be hoping for the same result in the ODIs as well.?



The three-match series between India and Australia will kick-start from 17th March. The first game will be played in Mumbai whereas the second and third match is slated to take place in Visakhapatnam and Chennai on the 19th and 22nd March respectively. It?ll be an ideal preparation for both teams considering the Cricket World Cup 2023, which will take place later this year.?
