Varun Chakravarthy reveals – why he doesn’t want to play Test cricket?
Varun Chakravarthy has been consistently performing well in T20 and ODI. He proved to be an X-factor for Team India in the Champions Trophy as well. That’s why there is a demand to bring him to Test cricket now. However, he does not want to play in this format right now.
Varun Chakravarthy has performed brilliantly in the recent past. On the basis of his lethal bowling, he has proved to be an X-factor for Team India. Be it T20 or ODI cricket, he has created a stir in both formats. He played an important role in the victory of the Champions Trophy. It became difficult for both batsmen to read and play his mystery spin throughout the tournament. That’s why there is a demand to play him in Test cricket now. Despite so much success, Varun does not want to play Test cricket right now. He thinks it is better to keep a distance from it. He has also given some reasons behind this.
Why does Varun not want to play Test?
Varun Chakravarthy, who proved his bowling prowess in the Champions Trophy, is currently a topic of discussion. After returning from Dubai after winning the title, he has given an interview on a YouTube channel. During this, he was asked about playing Test cricket. In response, he said that he is currently focusing only on 20 and 50 overs cricket. However, he is also interested in playing Test cricket. But according to him, his action and bowling style do not suit this format. He will not be able to bowl long spells. This is the reason why he wants to keep distance from it.
Chakravarthy said, “I am interested in playing Test cricket, but my bowling style does not suit Tests. To be honest, it is not possible for me to bowl long spells in Tests with my action and bowling style. Fans have appreciated this a lot. He said that at least Varun has an idea about his bowling. Let us tell you that Chakravarthy took 9 wickets in 3 matches in the Champions Trophy and was the second highest wicket-taker in the tournament.”
Sidhu demands to take him to England
However, Navjot Singh Sidhu believes that Varun Chakraborty should be taken to England for the 5-match Test series, as mystery spin is the biggest weakness of their batsmen. He can create problems for the England batsmen. Sidhu said, ” Mystery spinners are England’s weakness. This is a swollen nerve for England. Will you leave Varun Chakraborty? No, you have to give him a chance in the match. Or you will make Kuldeep Yadav bowl from both ends, because England batsmen are unable to read him.”
