On Day Two of the second tour match against West Indies Board President’s XI, he retired not out on 64, following up on his score of 51 in the first warm-up match at the same ground earlier in the week.
“Selection is something not in my control. As players we look to prepare and if opportunity comes by, we want to do well, both for ourselves and for team. There’s still a week to go before the Tests start, so in next couple of days we will know who is playing and who is not. It’s not something I am worried about. What has to happen, it will happen,” he said. — PTI
