Former national selection committee chairman MSK Prasad says IPL-16 is a “wonderful opportunity” for wicketkeeper KS Bharat to showcase his talent in white-ball cricket and stake a claim for India selection.

“Bharat is a Test cricketer and now he has an opportunity to showcase his talent in white-ball cricket. So, it [IPL]is a wonderful opportunity for him to do that,” Prasad said of the Andhra stumper, who made his Test debut in the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.
