India Test opener Murali Vijay has said that he is almost done with the Indian cricket and BCCI and currently on a hunt to get opportunities abroad. Vijay who was considered as India’s supreme opener in Tests, has not featured for Team India since 2018 Perth Test. While his last first-class appearance for his state team Tamil Nadu came during Ranji Trophy in December 2019.
“I am almost done with BCCI (smiles) and looking for opportunities abroad. I want to play a little bit of competitive cricket,” Vijay said to a news outlet.
I feel I can bat the best way I can: Vijay
“I feel you are peaking in your 30s. Sitting here right now, I feel I can bat the best way I can. But unfortunately, the opportunities were less, and I had to search for chances outside.”
“I honestly feel as a person, you can only do what’s in your hand. You can’t control the uncontrollable. Whatever happened, happened.”
Vijay’s stats
In his 61 Tests for India, Vijay scored 3982 runs averaging 38.29, including 12 centuries and 15 fifties, and was also the leading run-scorer in the 2014 Test tour of England. He also featured in 17 ODIs and nine T20Is for India, scoring only 339 and 169 runs respectively. He had recently returned to competitive cricket after a two-year absence through the 2022 Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL), playing for Ruby Trichy Warriors.
