Cricket LIVE update: Bopara promises to take on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 in the next encounter
English player, Ravi Bopara has said that he is quite eager to cement his place in the English team. The world cup has finally started and so far we have not seen much competition in the world cup.
England is considered as one of the favourites for the world cup title and there are huge expectations from the English team during the tournament. Before the world cup, England had to face a huge loss when their prominent middle order batsman Eoin Morgan
was declared unfit for the England’s world cup squad. Ravi Bopara was then chosen as Morgan’s replacement in the English World cup squad.
Ravi Bopara considers himself quite lucky for being included in the English team and said “It’s big opportunity to get back into the side”. Ravi Bopara has made a comeback in the English squad after some time and looks quite keen to score some important
runs for England during the mega event.
Bopara was dropped from the England team after the 2009 Ashes series and found it difficult to make his way back into the side. It becomes difficult for a batsman to make his way back into the team after being dropped from the side and he has had to prove
his form in the domestic cricket in order to justify his selection in the team.
“I have got two opportunities so far, one in the warm up game and then in the opening match. I haven’t thought about the competition [with Yardy]. I am just trying to do my best in every practice session”, exclaimed Bopara. He played in the warm up Match
and also scored a gutsy 30 off 20 balls in the encounter against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Netherlands-c753.
Bopara is a talented batsman and holds great potential for playing a quick knock at the middle order position. Michael Yardy is another option for England and has a great capacity of bowling some quality spin during the middle over’s. Bopara reiterated
the fact that he understands the behaviour of pitches of the Subcontinent.
Bopara insisted that his game has greatly improved after playing in the IPL. Bopara has played for Kings XI http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833 in IPL and he definitely understands the conditions of the Subcontinent where he has played cricket earlier last year. He explained that if
a certain player is doing well in the nets then he holds a good chance of making his way into the side.
“Net practice plays a huge role in a player’s selection and it clearly shows the grip of a player in a particular area,” he said.
