Star Cricketer to Play for Foreign Team After India Stint

The 34-year-old star batsman who is out of Team India will now go to England and play county cricket. He is eyeing a comeback in Team India. He is working hard for this.

It is very difficult to make a place in the Indian cricket team, but it is even tougher to retain it. Due to poor form, if a player flops in 2-3 matches, his career gets derailed. Then it becomes difficult to make a comeback. Many players have fallen prey to this thing. Mayank Agarwal's name is also included in these. This player, who played his last Test in the year 2022, has been trying to make a comeback in Team India for the last 3 years. Despite a good performance in domestic cricket, the selectors did not pay attention to him. Despite being constantly ignored, this player is not ready to give up.

Now this Karnataka player has decided to go to England and play county cricket. He will knock on the doors of Team India by performing well in the county. Mayank is the same player who had rained runs in Test cricket. He had scored 4 centuries and 2 double centuries in 21 Test matches, but due to injury and poor form, he has been out of the team for the last three years. Now he has decided to play county from the Yorkshire team. Karun is going to England with the confidence that he can be rewarded for his good performance there and he can make a comeback in the Test team.

He will return to India after playing three matches and then play the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy. This is the first time he is going to play county. Before him, many players including Sai Sudarshan, Tilak Verma, Yuzvendra Chahal and Cheteshwar Pujara have played county.

Right-handed star batsman Mayank played the last Test for India against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru in 2022. This was his 21st Test match. He was to open for Team India on the England tour in 2021-22, but he could not play due to a head injury, since then he has appeared only in IPL and domestic cricket. The 34-year-old player was also a part of the RCB team that became the champion in IPL 2025. He was added by the team in the middle of the season.

Mayank Agarwal has a big chance

Recently, Team India went on an England tour under the captaincy of new captain Shubman Gill, where Karun Nair and Sai Sudarshan could not do anything special at number 3. This place has become vacant after the retirement of Cheteshwar Pujara. Mayank is targeting this position. Now it remains to be seen whether his hard work will pay off or not. After the county, Mayank will also have a great opportunity to show his talent in the Rajni Trophy 2025 starting next month.
