Bhuvneshwar Kumar says he has no India ambitions
Bhuvneshwar Kumar said he has already played for India and feels no need to return; Ashwin had pushed for his 2027 World Cup recall.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar has played for India and doesn't need to do it again. The fast bowler last appeared in ODIs three years ago, and his latest comments came after Ravichandran Ashwin called for selectors to pick him for the 2027 World Cup.
Ashwin said Bhuvneshwar's experience would help in South Africa. The pacer hasn't been in the national setup since 2022 and has been playing franchise cricket instead.
Bhuvneshwar made it clear he isn't chasing another India cap. Playing again isn't something he needs to tick off.
CricHubb Take
Ashwin's suggestion may have been aimed at selectors, but it also highlights how the push for experienced players can overlook whether those players actually want to return.
