Ajinkya Rahane, on Monday, said that his failure to find a place in India's limited over squad has motivated him to try harder and get back to squad keeping in mind the 2019 World Cup in England and Wales. Rahane also said that his rejection from the team will give him time to prepare for the all-important England Test series, starting August 1. "It is important that you get time to prepare yourself and clarity is important when you know that you are not in ODI squad and you just going to play Test matches in England," Rahane said.
Talking about how being dropped from the squad motivates him to keep moving forward, Rahane said, "No, I am not at all frustrated; actually the thing is I can tell you this is actually motivating me, because I am actually looking to make a comeback. Right now, my focus is on Test cricket. I still believe that I can come back and do well in shorter formats with World Cup (2019) coming up."
Rahane is off the radar as far as India's limited overs team is concerned but the right-handed batsman is hopeful of making a swift comeback.
