Dream is to play 2019 World Cup alongside Hardik: Krunal Pandya




Kunal Pandya has expressed some close relation with India's 'A' call-up towards his dream, but his final goal is to play in England 2019 with Hardik, the younger brother of the 50-over 2019.

"The objective is not to represent India only for a few matches here and there, but to play for as long as possible, it would be a dream if I can play for India in the warm-hearted ICC World Cup in 2019. Now, India will focus on performing well for 'A', "said Crunal after selection in India 'A' team for a limited overs series in South Africa.

In fact, Hardik called him from Antigua after getting the news of his selection, he revealed.

"They were happy, they called me and said, 'You are reaching there.' "He has already played for India and he has an insight on top flight cricket and I always discuss with him to choose the finer points." Says a diplomat, "A friend compared to his own brother."

Kripalal and his younger brother, Hardik, have been an important figure in the success of Mumbai Indians in the past few years and Kurual has realized that when he got an opportunity to share India's dressing room with Hardik, it would be a dream It was like to be true

"It was like having a dream come true for both of us. In the first T20I when Hardik and I shared the dressing room for India, it was a great feeling.

"It is a good feeling to be with Hardik in the Indian team. We have played with each other for the Mumbai Indians too, so instead of playing against them, it is good to play with them! It is just the beginning, but the spirit was in reality. Said that since childhood, you dream of playing for the country and suddenly it feels so good when you call it.

However, for the time being, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal remain India's frontline spinners in the limited-overs squad and they are followed by Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in tje pecking order. But, Krunal is a much better batsman down the order than and can bowl tight overs as well. Therefore, a call-up for him in the final 15 shouldn't be a suprise.
