India’s Under-19 all-rounder Abhishek Sharma, who was in the 2018 World Cup winning squad, believes that securing a spot in the national team is not a piece of cake and he will have to dig out his own space there.
Sharma said, “I have to take out my own place. I will practice harder than I think I should. And if I do well in the matches and the whole camps, then I’ll be there very soon.” A left-handed batsman and left-arm orthodox, Abhishek’s 8-ball 23 and 1/33 helped India register 100-run win over Australia in the opening game of the U19 World Cup.
Talking about the World Cup, he said, “We were dreaming about it since two years and when it happened we felt out of the world.” The Amritsar player added that the World Cup triumph has set a platform of opportunities for him and he will try to grab them with both hands.
