Talking about the England series, he said:
“I’ve been on the team, in the reserves, for [2020-21] The same thing happened with the England Test matches, which was a great learning experience for me, just spending time in the dressing room and watching everyone. I enjoyed my time there – how they prepared and just watching the intensity of Virat Kohli’s training was an education. There were some things I hadn’t seen before – for example, Rohit Sharma saw the pitch and focused on his sweep, [R] Ashwin did the same… They were very clear about their plans. Although he did not make the 20-man squad for the England tour, plus the World Test Championship final against New Zealand, he wants to be as prepared as possible because “you never know, just in case the opportunity arises.”
Regarding his selection, noted commentator Harsha Bhogle tweeted:
I suspect that, like Karun Nair in England in 2018, there was a difference of opinion between the team management and the selectors over selecting Abhimanyu Easwaran as the substitute opener .Three openers, and another player who has been an opener in the past, is more than the team usually has
