New Delhi Former Indian team opener Wasim Jaffer feels that if he performed consistently well, he could have played more than 100 Test matches for the national team. Jaffer said on one of the shows, “I was not doing consistently well. I would have played more than 100 Test matches if I did. I was not very consistent at the international level, so I was ruled out.”
“I was more famous for my first class career than my international career,” he said.
Jaffer is considered a veteran of domestic cricket. He has scored over 19,000 runs in 260 first class matches. During this time his average has been 50.67 and the highest score is 314. He has played 31 Test matches for India and scored 1944 runs at an average of 34.11.
Jaffer said, “In 2012-13, I was close to going into the team again, but Shikhar Dhawan got selected. At times I got very close but could not make it. The selectors can give the exact answer to this, but I Kept knocking on the door again and again. ”
Jaffer announced his retirement from cricket this year and has been appointed as the head coach of the Uttarakhand team.
On his new role, Jaffer said, “This is a good thing, which is quite new for me. I have coached but not as a head coach. I have worked as a batting consultant and helped coaching a little bit But it’s very challenging to take the whole team together. I’m ready for it. “
