“Feels really special”: Karun Nair on his comeback to Indian Test side
Following a series of impressive outings for Vidarbha in domestic cricket, Indian batter Karun Nair has made his return to the Indian Test team after a gap of eight long years. The batter was included in the Indian squad for the five-match Test series against England commencing June 20. Recently he scored a double-century for India A against the England Lions in the first unofficial Test held last week in Canterbury.
"Feels really special. Very grateful and fortunate to be able to get this opportunity again. Really looking forward and excited to grab this opportunity with both hands,” Nair told BCCI.tv.
"I am sure there will be a lot of feelings – ones that I cannot express right now – and it will be a special feeling."
Indian wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul, who is Nair’s friend and Karnataka teammate, feels that Nair’s experience and his learnings from playing county cricket will be helpful for Team India.
"I've known him for a very long time and the months that he spent here in the UK playing cricket and how hard and how lonely it was for him to be able to do all of that and come back into the Indian Team - I think it's special for him, for his family and for friends like us who've seen his journey," KL Rahul said.
"It's very inspiring as well, and hopefully his experience and his learnings from playing county cricket here will hold him in good stead when he plays the Test matches here."
