Veteran pacer Ashish Nehra’s story is something extraordinary, as when at his age 37, most of the fast bowlers hangs their boots, he has made a remarkable come back in team India, and that too in t20. But even after that, he has a regret in his career. Recently, he has revealed that not accepting former India coach Gary Kirsten’s offer to play Test cricket for India, back in 2009 is his biggest regret of his life.
Nehra feels that he shouldn’t have turned down Gary’s offer when he was just 30 years old.
“When I look back, perhaps that’s one regret I have. In 2013 when I played 6 Ranji Games in 6 weeks, I realised that I should have accepted that offer from Gary to play Test matches,” he said adding,” from 30-34, I could have easily played four years of Test cricket and may have played another 30-35 matches. But then that’s life”.
