Prasidh Krishna opened up about the areas he is working on at the NCA.
Indian fast bowler Prasidh Krishna is on the path to recovery from a quadriceps injury that he sustained during India’s tour of South Africa earlier this year.
Prasidh made his debut in the two-match Test series against South Africa, but he failed to make an impact with the red ball, as he was dropped from the Test side for the ongoing five-match Test series against England.
Presently, Prasidh is undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, where he is aiming to refine his skills and improve his consistency to prepare for his opportunity.
Prasidh Krishna told PTI: “I am working on my skills on being consistent and doing better for the side. Pace is one of those things I will be working on. With confidence and rhythm, all of those (pace) things increase. But then what we need is to bowl in a particular way consistently and stick to the tactics of the team. That's more important.”
The star pacer said that the competition for a place in the Indian team is fierce, but it offers a valuable opportunity for individual growth as a player.
Krishna noted, “Every time someone gets into the team you know he has gone through the grind, through the hard competition and all of that and you are getting the best of the crop.”
He signed off by saying, “So, I think it is great for all individual athletes to fight the competition there is and get a place in the team.”
