Mumbai, Dec 5 (UNI) Taking into account the tough competition within Team India, Axar Patel hinted at taking things into his stride if he is not selected for the upcoming South Africa series despite putting up a great show this year.
"Now and then, the team management discusses with us and they do tell us whether we fit into their scheme of things. If we do not, we just tell ourselves that we should be focusing on our games and keep on improving," he said addressing the post-Day press conference of the second Test against New Zealand at Wankhede Stadium here on Sunday.
This show of practicality by Axar comes in the wake of his extraordinary performance at the international level. He made this year his own after kittying 36 wickets in five Tests. He had started with a bang by taking 27 wickets in three Tests against England.
