Rahane has been overlooked by the Indian Test side for a long time and has not received any communication regarding his return, despite several strong performances in domestic tournaments over the years. He last played for India at the Port of Spain against the West Indies in 2023 and was part of the ICC World Test Championship Final squad against Australia.
Ajinkya Rahane restored faith in himself and his caliber with a splendid hundred against Chhattisgarh in the Group A Ranji Trophy match for Mumbai and immediately turned the grind towards the national selectors, raising questions over experience, lack of opportunities, and communication.
"Age is just a number," he noted, trying to make a point. "As a player, if you have the experience, if you are still playing domestic cricket, if you are still giving your best, I think selectors should consider you. It's not about the age. It's about the intent. It's about the passion for the red ball," Rahane said, as quoted by Cricbuzz.
"I feel an experienced player like me should get more chances when he makes a comeback" - Rahane
"After playing so much cricket, when experienced players like me were dropped, I got a sense that there's something different. I feel an experienced player like me should get more chances when he makes a comeback. But there was no communication," Ajinkya Rahane said.
"The Indian team needed me in Australia" - Ajinkya Rahane
Ajinkya Rahane cited former Australian great Michael Hussey as a classic example of age being just a number and said that experience matters in overseas Tests, and hence, India needed him in the BGT last year. It is worth noting that Rahane was part of the teams that won the BGT in Australia.
"Selectors talk about playing domestic cricket. I've been playing domestic cricket for the last four to five seasons. Sometimes, it's not about the runs. It's about the intent. It's about the experience [you get] when you play in Australia, England, or South Africa... so, I don't buy that age factor," Rahane concluded.
