What!? Karun Nair Reveals Senior Cricketer's Advice to Retire

In preparation for the upcoming five-match Test series against England, Karun Nair recently made his eagerly anticipated return to the Indian Test team. His second stay in the game's longest format has been made possible by his consistent performances on the home circuit.

One player to keep an eye on during India's five-Test tour of England, which begins on June 20, is Karun Nair. Nair is 33 years old and making a spectacular return to the Indian team after missing more than eight years of action. He is also the only the second Indian to record a triple century in Test cricket.

Karun Nair Drops Truth Bombs:

A well-known Indian cricketer previously suggested that Nair quit and concentrate on playing in franchise T20 competitions, where there is a lot of financial stability. Nair disclosed before the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. The Vidarbha batsman, however, continued to work hard and disprove sceptics with his bat in domestic cricket, refusing to let the setback dampen his spirits.

In an interview with The Daily Mail, he said, "I still remember a prominent Indian cricketer calling me and saying you need to retire because the money in these leagues would make me secure. It would have been easy to do, but I knew that, regardless of the money, I would be kicking myself for giving up that easily. I was never going to give up on playing for India again. That was just over two years ago, and look where we are now. It's crazy but deep down, I knew I was good enough."

Karun Nair never gave up on his goal of rejoining the Indian squad in spite of the obstacles. He faced a difficult time of about 14 months without playing any competitive cricket after the 2022 season. However, a County stint with Northamptonshire signalled the start of his comeback.
