Stuart Binny

“Obviously, it's good to play for India; it's been a dream.”

“To make my ODI debut was very special. Yes, I would've loved to get an opportunity to bat in that game but the situation demanded a partnership at the time.”

“I had to go back and work on my bowling when I first came in. I was out of the team for three-four months before I came back into the ODI team again. I had to work on my bowling, which I did and the results are coming.”

“Fitness is also something I have worked on, especially because I know I have to bowl a lot more if I want to play for the country.”

“I have already established myself as Stuart Binny. I want to be known as a good player who served Karnataka cricket for more than a decade and also played Test cricket for country.”

“I have always wanted to play with top players and ICL has some of the best domestic players and the competition should be exciting.”

“In Ranji cricket, I am used heavily as a bowler, but in international cricket I hardly get four overs, and sometimes I never even get to bowl and bat at number eight.”

“I have batted at No. 7 for Karnataka also and I have had my success. It's a role that I enjoy.”

“Cricket keeps me away from classes, and home, for long periods at a time. But talking to friends and family helps, it is a sacrifice I have to make, because I love cricket.”
