Pragyan Ojha keen to do well against New Zealand – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754, in order to cement his place in the side and expressed that the home crowd will be a massive advantage for the Men in Blue.
The 25-year-old cricketer is considered to be one of the finest slow bowlers in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 at the moment. Having performed brilliantly at the first-class level and also in the Indian Premier League (IPL), the left-arm spinner made his way to the national team
in 2008, during the Asia Cup, played in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755.
Ojha has done well on occasions but so far he has failed to find a permanent spot in the team, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228 winning the selectors’ confidence of late.
The cricketer from Orrisa however, is now keen to prove his mettle and do well at the ultimate level of the game on regular basis.
"I am aiming for consistency. I want to start the season well, but there are no targets as such. I want to take it session by session and match by match," Ojha expressed.
The left-arm spinner has been named in the Test squad to take on the Black Caps and is likely to partner Ashwin in the spin bowling department. The first Test is going to commence on August 23rd at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hyderabad-c792, which happens to be Ojha's home ground.
The talented cricketer believes that he will have an upper hand over the Kiwi batsmen as he understands the conditions much better. On top of that, Ojha is of the view that the Indian crowd always supports the team - an important factor in the series.
"This is a very important series for the team and also for me. It is always special playing in front of one's home crowd," he added. "As I am familiar with the conditions and the wicket here, I am looking forward to a good Test. The crowd support too is
a key factor in one's performance and I am confident of doing well."
