Manoj Tiwary is hoping to be third time lucky when he joins injury-ravaged Team India on its ill-fated tour of England.
The Bengal captain was previously part of the Indian team twice, but, on both occasions, he could not justify his inclusion.
His first taste of international cricket in 2008 was baptism by fire. Hours after landing Down Under, he was up against a fiery Australian pace attack. After struggling for 16 deliveries, a fast, swinging yorker from Brett Lee sent his stumps crashing. He scored just two runs in that ODI of the CB tri-series, in Brisbane.
The 25-year-old was made to wait another three years before being called up again, for the ODI series in the West Indies earlier this year. With the seniors being rested for the series, it was an opportunity for youngsters. But, yet again, Lady Luck deserted Tiwary; he got just two games to prove his worth, and, that too, at different batting positions as he ended up with scores of 2 and 22.
But he continued to knock on the selectors' doors with consistent performances at the first class level, the most recent being the Emerging Players Tournament in Australia. The dashing right-hander played a smashing innings of 188 against New Zealand A and scored 59 against Australia Institute of Sport in the three-day games, while making 45 not out and 36 in the Twenty20s.
