India in Sri Lanka: Playing domestic cricket keeps me motivated to play for India, says Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Indian seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar says that playing in domestic cricket has kept him motivated to play for India and to stay fit. Kumar is Shikhar Dhawan’s deputy in India’s white-ball tour of Sri Lanka, starting from July 18.

A string of injuries has hampered India’s fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar in recent years. Kumar, who was a regular in all three formats, has been troubled with multiple injuries. The bowler made a return to the national squad after a long injury lay-off in the limited-overs home series against England in March. Kumar credited domestic cricket as which has kept him motivated to play for India.
