Praveen Kumar not happy at being snubbed by selectors – Cricket News Update
The out of favour Indian medium-fast bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 2012, which is scheduled to begin next week in
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
Kumar, 25, after catching the selectors’ eyes in domestic cricket, made his way to international cricket in 2007 and remained a permanent member of the Indian limited-over side till early this year.
The medium-fast bowler, who is known for his ability to drastically swing the ball in the air, made his Test debut last year during the series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760, doing well in the limited opportunities he received at the game’s ultimate level.
The cricketer from Meerut injured his rib after the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 this year, but was ignored for the series
against Sri Lanka, New Zealand and also for the World T20.
The seam bowler has failed to gain the selectors’ confidence for the Irani Cup, not being given a chance for the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rest-of-India-c838 squad. Praveen is not happy with this treatment by the authorities but vows to return to international cricket after proving his
worth in the upcoming domestic season.
"I was hoping to get a call for the New Zealand series but that didn't happen. I was a bit disappointed not to find a place in the ROI side too," Praveen said. "At the moment I'm looking forward to the Challenger Trophy [the domestic
one-day tournament featuring India's best limited-overs players], as it will be the only competitive cricket for me."
The 25-year-old cricketer has so far played 6 Tests, 68 One Day Internationals and 10 T20 Internationals for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 and has grabbed more than a hundred scalps. He can also contribute with the bat, having already scored a half-century
in the 50-over format.
"Sometimes I sit and wonder about why I'm not there in the Indian side. It's frustrating to be sidelined," he concluded.
