‘This Is The Day Riyan Parag Played Cricket For’, Father Parag Das Reacts After Son Gets Maiden India Call-Up | EXCLUSIVE

New Delhi: Riyan Parag reacted pretty normally and is focused on his job ahead after the Rajasthan Royals star got maiden India call-up for the five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe starting next month. Parag was one of the four new faces in the Indian team as the BCCI announced a 15-member side on Monday. Besides Parag, Sunrisers Hyderabad duo of Abhishek Sharma and Nitish Reddy and Chennai Super Kings pacer Tushar Deshpande also received India call-ups for the first time.

Notably, Parag became the second Assamese cricketer after Uma Chhetry to get an Indian call-up. Chhetry played for India women. One of the best talents on offer at the moment in the country, Parag was rewarded for his exploits in the last Indian Premier League with Rajasthan Royals.

“He is pretty normal. He doesn’t react much. It’s impossible to get a reaction from Riyan as he doesn’t express much. He likes to keep his feelings within himself,” Riyan’s father Parag Das told India.com in an exclusive interaction soon after the team came out.
