adminNEW DELHI. — Uncapped Shardul Thakur has vowed to do his “homework” on the West Indies after the right-arm pace bowler earned his first India call-up for the Test cricket tour of the Caribbean.
The 24-year-old, who has starred for Mumbai in domestic cricket, is the only new face included in India’s 17-member squad that will play four Tests in July and August.
“Obviously I will speak to the senior players to get an idea about what to expect in the Caribbean,” Thakur told the Press Trust of India news agency following the squad announcement on Monday.
“I will definitely do my homework before leaving for the tour,” he added.
Thakur has been in scintillating form for Mumbai in India’s domestic first-class championship, the Ranji Trophy, taking 89 wickets over the past two seasons. — AFP.
