Not interested in playing county cricket, says Sharma


New Delhi, Sep 1 (PTI): Cheteshwar Pujara will be playing for Derbyshire this season while Varun Aaron is also keen on plying his trade in the county circuit but Ishant Sharma, the senior-most bowler of the Indian Test team, is not at all keen on playing in England.

Would you be interested in playing in county cricket, "No, I am not interested," replied the lanky pacer, who was not allowed to give an elaborate answer by the organisers of the event, a promotional function relating to bikes, here on Sunday.

One of the heroes of India's Lord's Test win, Ishant was asked which among Lord's (2014) and Perth (2008) was a more satisfying effort according to him.

"There can't be any comparisons between the two performances," he said.

While the 25-year-old, who has 178 wickets from 58 Test matches, was keen on answering a few questions, a member of the organising team was constantly stopping him from answering cricket-related queries.

On being asked how disappointed he was after being thrashed by England in the Test series, the seamer replied, "No team wants to lose a contest. We played hard enough but they played better cricket than us."

When someone sneaked in a question about how "cool" Dhoni is on the field, Ishant said, "You guys have seen him (Dhoni). He remains pretty relaxed."
