"Of course, I would not say a 'No'- Bhuvneshwar Kumar opens up on his Test Cricket ambitions

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been making headlines with his commanding performance against England in the ongoing T20 series. Their star batter, Jos Buttler was dismissed twice in two games by the India pace spearhead. Bhuvneshwar Kumar battled injuries and fitness issues to mount a strong comeback into this Indian side. He has been bowling brilliantly and looks a certainty to make into the 20-20 World Cup squad.

"After an injury, you know you have to do well when you come back," Bhuvneshwar said.

"There's no other option. I always felt there will be at least one chance to come back. I knew I would give it 100% then but there is no guarantee the results will be good.

"Because when you get injured, you get frustrated. There is some disappointment. It is not strictly doubts but you are not in a good frame of mind.

"Luckily I got a chance and did well. Of course the way the captain and the coach have backed me, it is good… if they backed me and I am doing well, they also must be feeling good that the player they backed is doing well." After his exploits in the last few days, he will be on the plane to Australia for the upcoming T20 World Cup, and a Test comeback too looks realistic.

Meanwhile, Bhuvneshwar Kumar also opened up about his Test Cricket ambitions. The Indian pacer still has hopes of making a Test comeback and said that he is open to a Test recall.

Asked if he is looking forward to playing Test cricket again, the modest Bhuvneshwar said, "Honestly I am not thinking about anything at the moment. Of course, I would not say a 'no' when I get opportunities in Tests. Whatever opportunities I get I try to do well."
