Varun Chakravarthy had missed the series Down Under against Australia due to injury.
The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) spinner Varun Chakravarthy was in the news a few months ago as he was all set to make his India debut in the series Down Under against Australia.
However, due to injury, he had to miss out on that chance and Varun was again given a chance in the T20I series against England which is all set to begin after the Test series.
However, the bowler is likely to miss out on a potential India debut for the second time in five months. This time around, the spinner hasn't done well in the fitness test, Cricbuzz reported.
BCCI has set new benchmarks for the players which is either completing a 2 km run in 8.5 minutes or scoring 17.1 in the Yo-Yo test.
Apparently, Varun Chakravarthy hasn't done well in either of them and may miss out on joining the Indian team for the upcoming T20I series.
It will be very much unfortunate if the mystery spinner misses out yet again. However, Varun stated that he is yet to be formally communicated by the BCCI. "I have not been informed of anything as yet," he said while speaking to Cricbuzz.
Varun Chakravarthy at the NCA:
Varun was at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) for three months recovering from his injury and is currently training with the KKR team. It has been understood that the rehab programme of the cricketer went as planned and there is a remarkable improvement in his strength and conditioning.
However, his running emerged as a problem and that could be a reason for him to miss out on playing for India once again. Varun did not even play the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and is not even part of the Tamil Nadu squad for the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy.
"He was never in contention for a one-day team berth because we consider him as a T20 specialist. It will be difficult to expect more than four-five overs from him because of the effort he puts on his fingers," Tamil Nadu secretary S Ramasamy had said.
