Sunil Narine dreams about playing Test cricket – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sunil-Philip-Narine-c91869, the West Indian off-spinner, is extremely delighted to have performed so well in the on-going fifth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) but expressed that his real dream is to play Test cricket, which is still the most important format
of the game.
The 23-year-old cricketer came through the ranks of junior cricket in the Caribbean and represented http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 and impressed one and all with his accuracy and variations in pace.
Narine was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders during this year’s auction and the off-spinner has not disappointed the management at all. Narine is amongst the leading wicket-takers of the tournament with 11 scalps after six matches. On top of that, his economy
rate is merely 5.45, which is exceptional in the shortest format of the game.
The off-spinner expressed that he is enjoying his stint with the cash-rich league and wants to continue with the good work. Kolkata has a number of high-profile cricketers in its ranks and Narine feels that he is learning a lot from the seasoned campaigners.
“Getting to perform in a tournament like this is probably a cricketer’s dream. I am happy to have proved myself at this level. It has been a great experience being with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Gambhir-c1447 and the other guys. The way
they prepare before a match and the way they go about their task on the field,” said Narine.
Since the inception of IPL in 2008, many international stars have started to prefer franchise cricket but Narine has no doubts about his priorities and believes that Test cricket is going to remain the pinnacle of the game, no matter what happens. Narine
is confident that he will get to play the longer version of the sport very soon.
The off-spinner expressed, “My dream is to play Test cricket. Hopefully, in time to come, I will have a long Test career.”
Kolkata has started off well in the current season of IPL and Narine will be hoping that he continues to pick up more and more wickets in the tournament.
