After this I got a chance to play for Team India. In the year 1999, Gyanendra was a contender to play the Test series against New Zealand. According to the report, the then BCCI secretary Jaywant Lele did not approve the selection of the all-rounder.

Gyanendra further said that Jaywant Lele should have seen my performance before giving permission. At that time I was unable to understand things and could not handle anything. Due to which I was defamed, the media also did not publish my statement. No one asked me anything. Everyone contacted senior officials only.
