Ishan Kishan who was ignored in the ODI series vs Sri Lanka even after scoring a record breaking 210 in Bangladesh, has been included in India’s Test squad for the Australia series. The young wicketkeeper batter was given his maiden call-up to the Test team for the upcoming Australia series.
Speaking of his maiden Test call-up and excitement to play red-ball cricket in a conversation with Shubhman Gill, Kishan revealed that when he broke the news of his Test call, his father said, “Test has the real challenges. You have to work hard like this”.
‘Real Challenges’
“I am very happy. Whenever I was doing well in white-ball cricket my father used to say that Test cricket is the real deal. He says that Test has the real challenges, it tests the skills of batters and it is a big thing to play Test cricket,” Ishan revealed in a video posted by the Board of Control for Cricket (BCCI) on Twitter.
