The life of Saurabh Kumar, veteran of a decade in domestic cricket, took a sharp turn on January 29 when he made the Indian squad for the second Test against England starting in Visakhapatnam on February 2.
The 30-year-old left-arm spinner can now nourish the hope of donning a national cap after being a journeyman with the Indian squad during the series against Sri Lanka at home in 2022.
Of course, there is no guarantee that the Uttar Pradesh spinner will make his debut in Visakhapatnam ahead of Kuldeep Yadav or Washington Sundar.
