Karun Nair comeback 2025 : Team India now has to play a Test series against England, which is starting from June 20. When Team India was announced for this 5 match Test series, all the cricket fans were happy to see Karun Nair’s name. This is because for a long time, Karun Nair had batted in Indian domestic cricket and told the selectors that he is now fully ready to return to Team India. Karun Nair has returned to Team India after a long time. However, he revealed that an Indian cricketer had asked him to retire when he was not being given opportunities from the national team. Nair was given this advice by the famous Indian player 2 years ago.
Karun Nair made a big disclosure
In his interview with the Daily Mail, Nair said, ‘I still remember that a prominent Indian cricketer called me and said that you should take retirement, because the money received in these leagues will protect me. It would have been easy to do this, but I knew that despite the money I would curse myself to retire so easily. I did not want to give up to play for India again. This is just two years ago and see where we are now. This is madness, but from inside, I knew that I am quite good.
After the 2022 domestic season, Karun Nair was dropped from all the format teams in Karnataka. For 14 years, a strong batsman did not participate in competition cricket. However, after a long wait, he received the contract for the county championship from North Committee. He performed very well in the county championship and won the hearts of the fans.
