Bhuvneshwar Kumar Expresses Readiness for 2027 ODI World Cup Selection
Veteran Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 36, expressed readiness to represent India in the 2027 ODI World Cup if selected, emphasizing his focus on playing cricket rather than selection prospects. Despite last playing an ODI in January 2022, his strong performances in recent IPL seasons and ongoing participation in the UPT20 League have sparked calls from experts for his recall. Kumar acknowledged that his readiness is ultimately for selectors to decide, while he continues to contribute at the domestic level.
