Don’t Think I Was Utilised Properly In Last Year’s Tests In England, Says Shardul Thakur
Mumbai Cricket Association: India’s seam bowling all‑rounder Shardul Thakur has said he was under‑utilised during last year’s Anderson‑Tendulkar Trophy in England, adding that he remains determined to play international cricket again.
Thakur, 34, appeared in the Tests in Leeds and Old Trafford, scoring 1, 4, and 41 runs while bowling just 27 overs across the two matches and taking two scalps. “I 100 per cent desire to play for India again. At the back of my mind, it's always there. Even if you're dropped or discarded, I think hope is a very strong word.
“As long as hope is alive, everything is possible. It's very hard to comment on why I may have missed out on a few selections. But after the 2024‑25 season, the kind of season I had, I think I could have played a few more games and literally made a difference. When I played in England, I don't think I was utilised properly. In batting, yes, it was my mistake that I played a loose shot in Leeds.
