Pacer Mukesh Kumar sees merits in the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI’s) directive to contracted players to play domestic red ball cricket whenever they are free from National duty.
Mukesh, who played his first Ranji Trophy match of the season for Bengal on Friday and captured four wickets against Bihar, was all for donning his state team’s colours.
“It’s good. For me, it is important. I have gone on to play for India by playing the domestic matches. So, for me, it is essential to play domestic matches,” Mukesh, who was released from the Indian side for Bengal’s last group match, told reporters after the end of the first day’s play at the Eden Gardens here.
