Riyan Parag is confident that he will represent India in the future. The 22-year-old recently concluded a stellar season with the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2024, scoring 573 runs with an average of 52.09 and a strike rate of 149.21.

"At some point, you'll have to take me, right? So that is my belief, I'm going to play for India," Parag was quoted as saying by PTI. "I don't really care when. [Even] when I was not scoring runs - I said this in an [earlier] interview as well that I am going to play for India.

Following their T20 World Cup campaign, India will head to Zimbabwe for a five-match T20I series, and Riyan Parag could be one of the players selected for the squad. His current focus is on achieving this goal.

"Whether it's the next tour, whether it's a tour in six months, whether it's a tour in one year... I don't really put my thought behind when I should play," Parag said. "That is the selector's job, that is other people's job."

"What you saw this year in the IPL is how I play domestic cricket," Parag said. "I take the onus up to myself, I take the expectations, I take the burden upon myself to deliver and that is why I play the best.
