The former India Test spinner Murali Kartik will delay to take a decision on his Somerset future untill the end of the season – when he will take into consideration both his physical condition & his family.
Murali Kartik plays for Pune Warriors in IPL, and for Railways in the Ranji Trophy.
Kartik said:
"Even after the IPL, I hardly had any time, and within five days I was here playing a game. I haven't thought about it yet, but I will go back and immediately get into another season, so I have to look at things.
"I also have to consider my family equations. My wife doesn't seem very happy to lock her house every year and come back, but that's one of those things we will have to take into account.
"But I have absolutely enjoyed it here – the fact I am playing for a side which is up there with the best in the country, and the fact you don't have easy days, is why you are playing cricket.
"You want to be competitive at all times, day-in, day-out, and sometimes it's hard on your body and it's also a mental thing. But that's what you pride yourself on and I am very glad I made that move and am playing for Somerset."
Brian Rose the director of Somerset is relaxed about Kartik's situation and said
"I have had conversations with Murali and have acknowledged that he plays a lot of cricket"
"It was 50-50 whether he would be coming back for this season in one way, so we will see what happens towards the end of the season."
