"It is a proud moment for us. I still remember his childhood days when we pledged to make him a good player and a better human. Anshul is following that and focusing on cricket. Our target is achieved today," Rana reflected, looking back on the years of hard work, mentorship, and responsible nurturing that have come to fruition with this selection.

The 24-year-old Kamboj, who has 79 wickets in 24 first class games, was part of the India A side, which played two three-day games last month. He took five wickets in the two games.
