What did Ajit Agarkar say on Karun Nair
Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar said about Karun Nair, “We expect more than Karun Nair, not only one innings is enough. Parkal can do better. We will want to give 15-20 opportunities to all, but this is not possible in these circumstances.” Let me tell you that after about 8 years, he got a chance in the Test series on the tour of England, but his performance was not good.
