I askes selectors to put me in India-A Team –

“When I didn’t play in the West Indies, selectors put me in India A team for South Africa A series. But when there is a big gap with ODIs, T20s being played, I told the selectors that whatever match is there, let me play as match practice is very important for me,” Yadav said.

“Suddenly, you come from home and play a match, it can be a tad difficult as a fast bowler. Hence, I was confident coming into the match because the last time I played in India I got 10 wickets in the match. If there is doubt in the mind, it’s not possible to perform well. It all went well for me.”
