Playing just Tests makes job tougher, I want to play all three formats: Jadeja

Spinner Ravindra Jadeja remains determined to represent India in all three formats as he feels playing only Tests is not enough to keep him in good shape for international cricketJadeja took two for 57 on day one of the fifth and final Test which happens to be his first of the series For me the biggest thing is that I am playing for India and maybe some day if I do well I will be back playing all three formats of the game soon enough But my aim is to convert any opportunity I get into performance he said after stumps on day oneWhen you are playing just one format it is very tough because there is too much gap between matches and the experience rhythm you need to play at international level is less So you have to keep motivating yourself whenever I get a chance like in this game whatever ability I have I have to give my best on the fieldHe outlined playing the holding role as lone spinner whilst also admitted his aim to fulfil the allrounder spot for India Whenever I get an opportunity to play for India I will give my best in both aspects batting and bowling I want to become a trusted member of the team and I can fulfil the allrounder slot well because I have done it before in the past It isnt anything new to me It is a matter of timeWhen you are going through a bad patch you need to play more and more to regain your old form and touch So it is possible the more I play international cricket the better I will perform and will be able to make a comeback in all three formats said the southpaw India did well to reduce England to 198 for seven by close of play considering the hosts were 133 for one in the 64th overJadeja said that the bowling attack worked together to a plan of cutting down boundaries and frustrating the English batsmen Jadeja took a couple while Ishant Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah shared the other five wickets as Indias bowling proved miserly throughout the day Everyone bowled well especially when the partnership between Moeen Ali and Alastair Cook was on our plan was to stop the boundaries Our plan was that if they didnt get boundaries theyd panic and play wrong shots and get out And thats exactly what happenedFrom there we got six wickets for 50 or so As a bowling department that is our idea not to concede runs If theres a partnership we will bowl in good areas In England if one wicket falls you get two or three in a cluster And thats what happened he said Mohammed Shami was unlucky as he beat the batsmen on numerous occasions but failed to induce an edgeShami bowled well He was unlucky that he beat the bat so many times Hes bowling with good rhythm he is generating good pace too Shami Bumrah and Ishant all of them did welliquest said Jadeja England made their best start of the series on a pitch that proved to be more batsmen friendly than others earlier with the first wickets putting on 133 runs Thereafter the hosts collapsed in the final session conceding six wickets for 65 runsThis is a good wicket for batting Theres nothing much in it As the game progresses the pitch will get slower Its looking slightly dry But our three fast bowlers bowled really well Its difficult when youre not getting any help from the wicket on day one The ball youre actually trying to bowlits not coming out that way I was just thinking that Shami Ishant and Bumrah were bowling well from the other end They were beating the bat nonstopI was just thinking that I shouldnt concede boundaries because if that pressure is released at one end it becomes easy for the batsmen We didnt get any wickets in the second session but we didnt concede many runs either We came back well Everyone did their jobs in the bowling department Jadeja saidAlso Read IND Vs ENG Ishant Sharma Jasprit Bumrahs Strikes Rock England On Day 1Catch up on all the latest sports news and updates here Also download the new midday Android and iOS apps to get latest updatesThis story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed agencies Except for the change in headline the story has been provided ASIS AS AVAILABLE without any verification or editing from our side Midday accepts no responsibility or liability for its dependability trustworthiness reliability and data of the text Midday managementmiddaycom reserves the sole right to alter delete or remove without notice the content in its absolute discretion for any reason whatsoever
