Karun Nair describes his return to the Indian Test team as a full-circle moment. Once sidelined after a disappointing tour of England in 2018, Nair now feels 'ready' as he gears up for the upcoming five-match series against England, beginning at Headingley this Friday.

Having sparkled in the Ranji Trophy, Nair rejoins the national squad, underscored by the departures of stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. India's quest for its first Test victory at Headingley since 2002 is buoyed by the young captain Shubman Gill's leadership.

Throughout his journey, Nair maintained his belief, driven by a passion to don the Indian jersey once again. His resilience and determination have brought him back to where his international career faltered, ready to embrace this new chapter with the Indian cricket team.
