Bhuvneshwar Kumar left out of England tour; slams reports claiming he doesn’t want to play Test cricket

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is one of the best swing bowlers in India. Hence, it came as a surprise that he was left out of the tour of England for the World Test Championship final against New Zealand and the following 5-match series against England in August, despite making a return to India’s white-ball side and for playing in the IPL 2021.

Some reports surfaced stating that the 31-year-old doesn’t wish to play the longest format anymore, and wants to solely focus on limited-overs cricket. However, the seamer denies the claims and slammed the reports.

“There have been articles about me not wanting to play Test cricket. Just to clarify, I have always prepared myself for all three formats irrespective of the team selection and will continue to do the same. Suggestion – please don’t write your assumptions based on “sources”!” he had tweeted.

If fit, Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be on the tour to Sri Lanka for limited-overs matches in July.
