India’s KL Rahul happy to be flexible in Tests, T20Is

The Hindu  

KL Rahul said he is willing to bat in the middle order and keep wicket across formats as he looks to cement a role in India’s Test and Twenty20 International squads. Rahul last played a Test match in February, in which he was an opener, but after his return from an injury layoff in September, the 31-year-old played as a wicketkeeper-batsman for India in their one-day international Asia Cup and World Cup campaigns. “I would be happy to take up that role even in the Test matches,” Rahul told reporters on Friday, ahead of India’s first ODI match against South Africa in Johannesburg. If that’s the role the team sees me in, I’m happy to do that.” With the T20 World Cup taking place next year, Rahul said he would also be open to reprising the role in the shortest format.
