Wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Khan has seen an up-and-down type of career in internationals since his debut in 2021. Ishan had the light on him when he took a break from cricket and returned back during the South Africa tour.
He also skipper Ranji Trophy a few months later and then went on to play the Indian Premier League (IPL).
However, he is now taking steps to make his return in cricket as he is going to represent India ‘A’ against Australia ‘A’ in the two-match series before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
‘I feel very hungry right now and I know I will just smack the bowlers whenever I get the opportunity again. I am going to go all in. I am very hungry to get an international match. I know what happens in team meetings when someone makes a comeback to the team. How light banter happens and I am very excited about those things also. Whenever I get that opportunity, I am going to go all-in for sure,’ said Ishan.
‘I have grown up a lot in last few months. The way that I now look at this game… my perception about this game is very different from what I had before. The banter would continue… but now I know where to stop so that it doesn’t disturb my game. I am in a more mature headspace now and the break taught me a lot about it. I was spending the most quality time of my life,’ he added.
