Injured Rohit Sharma is not insecure about his place in the national side – Cricket News Update
The middle-order batsman of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RG-Sharma-c2309, has said that he is not insecure about his place in the national side in spite of the tough competition prevailing in the Indian team to fill the middle-order spot.
The 24-year-old right-handed batsman from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c749 this summer, and has not made a national squad since then.
On his course, he missed last month’s five-match home ODI series against England, and was then overlooked for the ongoing home Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760.
Sharma termed his injury as “sheer hard luck”, adding that he was not insecure about his spot in the Indian team.
"I don't know (whether its a jinx). Its sheer bad luck. What can I say...That is really unfortunate. I never expected this to happen,” said Sharma while talking to the media reporters on the eve of Mumbai's clash against defending champions http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 here
on Thursday.
"There is no insecurity. If you are injured then you can blame no one but yourself. You can only get frustrated so instead you should concentrate on where you can improve," the Mumbaikar added further.
Sharma, who has played 67 One Day Internationals and 22 T20 Internationals for India, is yet to debut in the Test format of the game. Last year he narrowly missed out a chance of making his Test debut after picking up an ankle injury just before the toss
of a Test match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, at Nagpur.
Despite failing to make the cut for the Test squad of India against West Indies, Sharma is eying a comeback during the upcoming One-Day leg of the competition.
"You can see where this injury can put you. I have to start from the scratch now,” said Rohit. “That's really a setback. But I'am strong enough to make a comeback. I have the ability. I want to keep myself strong and keep myself fit for the international
level," he insisted.
India is currently leading the three-match Test series against West Indies 1-0 with the second Test of the series scheduled to begin at Kolkata on November 14.
