'I'll never give up' - Abhimanyu Easwaran shares thoughts after non-selection for West Indies tour

The Indian cricket team will travel to the West Indies to play a series of five T20 matches, two Test matches, and three ODI matches. The Indian Cricket Board has already made the team announcement for this. The Indian selectors, however, came under harsh fire from cricket experts and fans shortly after the selection was named since so many quality players were overlooked.

Numerous players, in addition to Sarfaraz Khan, Umesh Yadav, and Cheteshwar Pujara, did not make the series roaster. The team had players like Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal, but the selectors overlooked Abhimanyu Easwaran, who has regularly excelled in domestic cricket. Easwaran discussed the subject and acknowledged that he was a little disappointed.

“I mean it is a little disappointing, to be honest, but again, it is about getting my focus back to where I wanted to be and my game. I want to spend my energy on working my skill whenever that opportunity comes. I know that the opportunity would come soon and I want to be best prepared for that. So my focus is on trying to improve as a cricketer and be ready when the opportunity comes.” Easwaran was quoted as saying by India Today.
