Discarded India opener Murali Vijay has cited that constant shuffling by the team management has taken a toll on his performances.
Meanwhile, owing to poor form, the selectors dropped Vijay from the last two Tests against England. Although he gave some hint form during his County stint, the selectors persisted with their decision to keep him out of the Tests series against Windies.
However, Murali Vijay has now hit back at the management stating that constant chopping and changes affected his form.

“Anyone who doesn’t get to play regularly will have some doubts. When you shuffle a lot there will definitely be certain thoughts in the back of your mind over your spot… but the team-management had a different way of looking at things.
And when you are part of the team, you have to contribute to the overall cause because that is what matters in the end. You are always judged on the performances. Unfortunately, I didn’t have them,” Vijay said to the New Indian Express.
Murali Vijay confident of making a comeback
The Tamil Nadu cricketer is still upbeat about making a comeback and is focusing on improving his performance. Stating that ups and downs are part, Vijay admitted he has been through this before as well.
“At the end of the day, it is the performance that counts. The past doesn’t matter and it is for others to judge if I deserved to be in the side or not. I’m playing this sport because it gives me joy and that is what I look forward to the most. Ups and downs are part of a cricketer’s career. I have gone through this before,” Murali Vijay concluded.
