Although, he featured in T20 series against England in February 2017 but played his last game for India in ODI’s all the way back in 2015 during South Africa’s tour of India.
The left-arm batsman faced criticism in the past over his fitness and was omitted by the BCCI from central contracts for being a ‘family man’.
