Indian pacer Umesh Yadav recently said that he is working really hard to be regular in India’s Test side and is also eager to make a comeback in the white-ball cricket. Yadav has only played one limited-overs match since February 2019 and is desperate to make a comeback.

While talking to The Times of India, Umesh said, “Who wants to sit outside the ground? I am also human. I am working really hard and am very eager to play white-ball cricket again.

I am thankful to the selectors who gave me the opportunity to play for the country. They are the best judge. I am trying my best to make a comeback to white-ball cricket. For this, whatever I have to do, I will,” he added.

The right-arm quick who was selected for the 2015 World Cup said that he was disappointed for not getting selected in the last year’s ICC mega event in England. I got the chance in the 2015 World Cup. I was happy to perform well in my country. I was disappointed when I was not included in the 2019 World Cup team,” he said.

The 32-year-old then talked about getting selected for the upcoming Test series against New Zealand.

Honestly, I am looking forward to this (playing Tests in New Zealand). I am eager to play red-ball cricket in New Zealand. I have performed well in recent times and I'm in good touch too. My series against Bangladesh was good too. I am pretty positive about my selection for the New Zealand Test series,” Yadav said.

If I am selected, I am going to give my 100 percent. I have worked a lot on my line and length. I am hoping for the best,” he added before leaving.
