Chennai: Drafted into the Rest of India side for the Irani Trophy match in place of injured Sachin Tendulkar, hardworking Subramaniam Badrinath reckons a great opportunity coming his way to make it to the Test squad with a good knock against Ranji champions Delhi.
Badrinath, who was captaining India A in a triangular series involving A sides of Australia and New Zealand before his inclusion in the Rest of India team, is itching to go out in the middle at Vadodara.
"Maybe the time has come for me now. It's a great feeling. Tremendous to know that I'll play for the Rest. I would like to make use of this opportunity; a good knock means chance to enter the Test squad against Australia," said the Tamil Nadu batsman who scored a match-winning 69 not out against New Zealand A on Wednesday.
"I can't ask for more, if I make a debut against the world champions," Badrinath said.
