Navdeep Saini, who shared dressing room with Virat Kohli at Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and the Indian team, stated that to play for the India National Cricket Team, one needs to deliver good performances in the Indian Premier League (IPL), and without that, it is not possible to don the Blue jersey.
He had to wait for a couple more years to get his Test cap as he made his debut in the longest format of the game for India in Sydney against Australia on January 7, 2021.
In a recent interaction with PTI, Navdeep Saini, after returning with figures of 2/20 in nine overs in Delhi’s Ranji Trophy match against Himachal Pradesh, said:
Whether one likes it or not, to play for India, you have to do well in IPL - Navdeep Saini exposes Ajit Agarkar
Over the last few years, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has gotten pretty strict and made participation in domestic cricket mandatory for players who wish to represent Team India at the international level.

When asked whether he should focus only on white-ball cricket, the pacer replied by saying that he can do that, but he loves playing red-ball cricket. Navdeep Saini is also optimistic about getting back into India's scheme of things if he picks a couple of five-wicket hauls.
“Yes, I can but I love this challenge of bowling in days’ games. Last match, I didn’t get wickets (in Hyderabad) as the wicket was slow. On this track, post Tea, it became lively,” he said.
