http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-Mithun-c41242 excited to return to the Indian Test side
Indian fast bowler Abhimanyu Mithun is very happy to be picked for the Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 this month and said that he wants to prove his mettle in international cricket this time round.
Mithun has been drafted in India’s Test team for the tour of Caribbean after two premier fast bowlers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Sreesanth-c2398 were ruled out of the series because of fitness troubles.
The 21-year old fast bowler is very excited about given this opportunity to cement his place in the Indian lineup.
Mithun said, "It feels good to be picked again. I am hoping to get a chance and prove myself again like I did on my debut in Sri Lanka.”
The fast bowler made his Test debut last year against Sri Lanka and impressed the cricket analysts with his pace and the ability to bowl for long hours even on the flat batting conditions of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758. He has so far played three Tests in a short career and
took six wickets.
Mithun said that all the senior players of the Indian team helped him during his initial tour with the national team. However, he feels that the best advice he got from the senior players was to enjoy the game and do not let the nerves get the better of
him.
"Everyone encouraged me, told me I am a good bowler. But the best advice I got was when I was told that when I started playing cricket I did so as I loved the game. At that point I wasn't thinking of playing for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 and so why think about it now, I was
asked. That set me thinking and slowly I regained my confidence and got back to normal," Mithun added.
Mithun recently played the fourth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and showed that he has improved his skills since the last one year.
At the time of his debut, Mithun was a bowler who just wanted to concentrate on bowling fast. However, this is not the case anymore and the fast bowler has realized that he needs to concentrate on line and length if he wants to be successful in international
cricket.
