Overview

  • Easwaran said being left out of India's West Indies Test squad "does hurt" but stressed he will control what he can and prepare for the Ranji season.
  • The opener travelled with India to England and remained on the bench throughout the five-Test series before being omitted for the home assignment.
  • Bengal confirmed Easwaran as captain for the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy, with their campaign opening against Uttarakhand on October 15.
  • The Bengal squad includes vice-captain Abishek Porel and pace additions Mohammed Shami and Akash Deep, with fixtures in Elite Group C.
  • Easwaran cited late debutants Michael Hussey and Suryakumar Yadav as motivation and said he is working on new shots to strengthen his case for selection.
