In an interview with India Today ex-captain of India Sourav Ganguly said that Hardik Pandya should play test cricket again. After the Indian Team loss in the WTC final against Australia Ganguly recommended this.
In the interview he said “Lets not jump to conclusions due to just one loss. India will always have talent. India has enormous reserves. When you look at some of the performances. I don’t consider IPL performances if we are sticking to Test cricket. In domestic cricket there are some fantastic players and you will only find out when you give them opportunities. Whether it be Jaiswal or Patidar, Abhimanyu Easwaran from West Bengal scores a lot of runs. Shubham Gill is young, Ruturaj Gaikwad is young and I hope Hardik Pandya is listening. I want to see him play Test cricket, especially in these conditions.”
Hardik Pandya played his last test match against England in 2018. He played 11 tests where he scored 532 runs and took 17 wickets till now.
