Karun Nair News

Karun Nair averages 53.94 in 16 Ranji Trophy innings but is dropped from India Test and India A squads. The Karnataka middle-order batter blasts selectors Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir, saying he “deserves better.” Nair scores an unbeaten 174 against Goa, reaffirming his form and determination to play for India.

Karun Nair’s recent performances in domestic cricket had forced selectors to consider him for a comeback. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar explained the decision, stating that while giving chances to players is important, team balance and consistent performances. Disappointed by the snub, Nair also expressed frustration.

Karun Nair omitted from India’s Test squad for West Indies despite scoring a vital fifty in the England series. BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar cites Devdutt Padikkal’s consistent form as key reason for Nair’s exclusion. Nair expresses disappointment but remains composed, urging fans to “ask the selectors” about the decision.

Karun Nair likely omitted from India’s squad after modest performance in England Tests. Devdutt Padikkal earns Test recall following stellar domestic form and 150-run innings against Australia A. India’s core lineup remains intact with Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel leading the charge.

Shreyas Iyer, who made his last Test appearance for India in February 2024, will lead India A against Australia A in the upcoming two multi-day matches in Lucknow.  

Nair showed glimpses of his potential in the matches at Birmingham and Lord’s, reaching starts but failing to capitalize on them. His comeback was marked by a duck in the first innings of the opening Test at Headingley, followed by a score of 20 in the second innings as India suffered a defeat. Nair’s half-century in the final Test has reopened his chances to stay in contention ahead of the upcoming home season.

Karun Nair has indeed been named captain of the Mysore Warriors for the upcoming Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 tournament. He was retained as a key player and will lead the side in the 2025 edition. 

Karun Nair suffers finger fracture in India vs England 5th Test, ruled out of Duleep Trophy 2025. Poor form in England series puts Nair’s Test future in doubt ahead of West Indies and South Africa tours. Shreyas Iyer tipped as a potential replacement in India’s middle order for upcoming home Tests.
