‘Want to match the consistency that this team has’: Nagwaswalla on utilising experience of ENG tour in domestic cricket

In a video shared by the BCCI on Twitter, the 23-year-old shared his experience of training with the likes of Virat Kohli and other senior players.

Under the leadership of Virat Kohli, the Indian cricket team is gearing up for the much-awaited 5-match Test series against England, which begins from August 4 in Nottingham. The players have begun preparing for the tour. The majority of them also participated in a 3-day warm-up game against a County Select XI and produced some decent performances.

The tour will be a great test of character for those who get a chance to play against Joe Root’s side. At the same time, it will be a massive learning experience to the reserve players who have travelled to the UK with the 20-man squad.

Arzan Nagwaswalla is one such player who is delighted to train with the likes of Virat Kohli & Rohit Sharma. The Gujarat youngsters became a part of the touring party following his impressive outings for Gujarat in domestic cricket.

In a video shared by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the 23-year-old summed up his experience and spoke about how it will benefit him in the domestic circuit.

“The learning that I got from seniors so far is that stick to your process and keep following it, no matter what the situation or the condition is. It has been a very good experience so far. I have talked to almost everybody in the team. Everyone has been so polite and kind to me. I am happy for the experience that I have had till now and I hope to carry on the same feeling,” he said.

Nagwaswalla hopes to become a successful bowler with an enriching experience and would focus on improving with every day.

“I just want to improve each and every day. I want to match the level of fitness and consistency that this team has. Once I go back to the domestic team I want to be one step ahead,” he said.

Nagwaswalla was accompanied by pacer Prasidh Krishan who is also present in England as a backup player. After a commendable ODI debut earlier this year, Krishna is just glad to have grabbed the chance to be a part of Team India against England.

“I have been playing red-ball cricket after almost one and a half years. Coming here and bowling against the best in the country, there is nothing like it. You are challenged every single day,” said Krishna.
