Karun Nair, who made his last appearance in Indian colours eight years ago, opened up on his recall to the national side for the upcoming Test series against England.
"Feels very special, very grateful, very fortunate to be able to get this opportunity again. Really looking forward to grabbing this opportunity with both hands. I am sure there will be a lot of feelings, ones I cannot express right now. It will be a special feeling," Nair said, in a video posted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
