‘This’ incident happened with Saini outside London Airport! “Wasn’t expecting that at all,” he said.

Rohit Sharma-led Indian team suffered a crushing defeat in the final match of the World Test Championship. Still the selectors trusted Rohit during the West Indies tour. The selectors announced the ODI and Test squads against West Indies and kept Rohit as the captain. The Indian team has seen major changes for the ODI and Test series. Fast bowler Navdeep Saini got an unexpected opportunity in the Test team. He said that this choice was a surprise for him.

Four fast bowlers have got a chance in the Indian Test team for this series. Youngster Mukesh Kumar will be part of the team along with Mohammed Siraj, Jaydev Unadkat. At the same time, Saini has got an opportunity in the Indian Test team after almost two and a half years. Speaking about the time he heard this news, he said,

“It was not expected that the call-up to the Test team would come. During the IPL I was practicing with the Duke ball used in England. Because he was expected to get an opportunity as a net bowler for the final of the World Test Championship. Today I reached England to play county cricket. As soon as I got out of the London airport, I got the news of being selected in the Indian team.”

Saini has been playing for Worcestershire County since last year. This year also he will be seen playing for this team. He has played only two Test matches in his career so far. He played in Sydney and Brisbane Tests on Australia tour in 2021. Saini, who plays domestic cricket for Delhi, has been seen playing for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL for the past two years.
