Indian left-arm spinner Harsh Dubey, who recently made his ODI debut against Afghanistan, has sounded confident in making his Test debut in the near future. Notably, India is set to play two Tests against New Zealand next month.
Speaking in an exclusive conversation with RevSportz, Dubey asserted that he is ready for the red-ball opportunity whenever he receives it. Dubey, who plays for SRH in IPL, scalped 69 wickets in 10 games for Vidarbha in Ranji Trophy 2024-25 to emerge as the leading wicket-taker in that season.
“I feel I will make my Test debut very soon. You can call it visualisation or manifestation or whatever. I also don’t know. But I have a strong feeling. But you cannot say anything till it happens. There are always things that happen suddenly in life, so I am ready for the opportunity,” Dubey said on RevSportz.
Further, Dubey revealed that he thought of making his Test debut ahead of other formats. However, the left-arm spinner made his ODI debut against Afghanistan earlier this year. Nevertheless, Dubey stated that his skill set is also suitable for the one-day format.
“Even I thought I would make my Test debut before other formats. But I have done comparatively well in one-day cricket as well, even throughout age groups. After Tests, I think my skill set is most suitable for the one-day format. We won the VHT as well, so I feel that it had a major part to play in my ODI debut,” he added.
“The fame and money are one part. But the better thing is that I got better opportunities. Having higher exposure is very important before playing for India. IPL is a place where you need to know how to handle pressure, and if you don’t, it is the best platform to learn this. I have learnt a lot from there,” he noted.
