This is really a very big country and playing for Team India has always been a passion among the players here. This is a very positive thing. Also, there are many important things which are very important to complete a test match. Like the weather and the way we invest money in the drainage system. Do certain test centers help a player? Yes why not? This is because when we go to Australia, there are only five testing centers there. They don’t play with us at Manuka Oval in Canberra. There are only a few stadiums where test matches are played. We see the same in England too where Test matches are played in only a few centres.

Recently, he has answered some questions related to Team India in a special interview given to CricTracker. Let’s watch his exclusive interview- Video: Pragyan Ojha Exclusive Interview With CricTracker Q: As a spinner, do you think we might see another offspinner like Ravichandran Ashwin in Test cricket? Answer: If we talk about Test cricket, I think we have to find bowlers for red ball cricket from domestic cricket. We have to see which bowlers are bowling 50, 60, 70 overs with red ball in domestic cricket. Because not only the final figures matter, the control of your bowling is also very important. Q: How many off-spinners are there in domestic cricket that one can name? Answer: If you see, there are very few off-spinners. You may find a few names like Washington Sundar, but we need to build a strong bench strength. Whenever a big player retires or will retire, you should have 3 or 4 options. If there are only 1 or 2 options, there can be problems. Q: What is your opinion about BCCI’s decision that senior players should play domestic cricket if they are not playing international cricket? Answer: I think this is a very good decision. This gives a lot of inspiration to young players. This will make many young players more eager to play domestic cricket. Rishabh Pant can become the captain of all three formats of Team India: Pragyan Ojha Q: According to you, that one name who can become the captain of India in all three formats? Answer: Rishabh Pant is a very interesting option. Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav are also good players, but for me Rishabh Pant is a very special player. Q: What was the most memorable moment of your career that you will never forget? Answer: When I got the Test cap from Sachin paaji, that was my most memorable moment. Firstly, you are entering Test cricket, and secondly, you are getting that cap from a player who has represented India for decades. Question: How long will Dhoni be seen playing in the IPL? Answer: He (MS Dhoni) can play as long as he wants to. In franchise cricket, the owners and senior players talk to each other. If a player is fit and wants to play, he can play, because his presence will be very helpful for the team.
