India pacer Mukesh Kumar, who has not been selected for the five-match Test series against England, shared a mysterious social media post ahead of the first Test match which will commence on June 20th.
Mukesh played the first unofficial Test against England Lions in Canterbury, where he took three wickets but he was later dropped from the team for the second game in Noirthampton. He was also not part in the intra-squad practice match in Kent last week.
Mukesh Kumar took to his Instagram and wrote: ” Karma bides its time. You will alweays have to watch out. Karma is unforgiving and always gets payback.”
Mukesh shared this cryptic message following Harshit Rana’s inclusion in the team despite the fact that he had a disappointing first unofficial Test against the Lions. Rana who was part of the India squad has joined the team ahead of the series opener in Headingley, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), confirmed in a statement, as per ICC.
Rana made his debut on India’s tour of Australia in November 2024, and grabbed four wickets in his first Test in Perth, playing a major role in India’s massive win by 295 runs.
He has also represented India in five ODIs, taking 10 wickets at an average of 20.70 and in his T20I appearance against England, he took three wickets. Rana was also part of India’s ICC Champions Trophy-winning squad this year.
