Ajinkya Rahane still hopeful of Team India comeback

Despite being snubbed by the BCCI selectors for a long time, veteran batsman Ajinkya Rahane is still hopeful of making a comeback to the Indian team.

The 36-year-old cricketer last played for India in the West Indies almost two years ago. Though the national selectors seem to have moved on from the veteran cricketer, he still believes that he has it in him to contribute to the national side.

“There is still fire and passion in me. I’m playing Ranji Trophy at the moment, trying to give my all to the Mumbai team. The goal is clear to make another comeback,” said Rahane.

“I’m more experienced, but still feel young. I’m fit enough to compete at the highest level. I never get satisfied with my game and don’t take things for granted. I feel there’s more cricket left in me,” he further said.

“As a batsman, one can play till 40. There are players who have played till the age of 39-40. What matters is fitness. We need more experienced players, plus a few youngsters, in the team. So that they can learn,” he added.
