    "editor1": "<p><strong>Kolkata, Jan 2.<\/strong>&nbsp;India &#39;A&#39; and Gujarat opener Priyank Panchal on Wednesday said he wants to keep scoring runs on a consistent basis as that will help him remain in the discussion for a spot in the Indian Test team.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nPanchal, 29, has been part of the conversation for some time now as India&#39;s Test opening options alongwith Bengal captain Abhimanyu Easwaran, whom Gujarat will play in a Ranji Trophy match on Friday at the Eden Gardens here.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nSince the ascendancy of Rohit Sharma as an opener with Mayank Agarwal with Shubman Gill pencilled in as a reserve option and Prithvi Shaw making a comeback, things look all the more tough for Panchal and Easwaran. But that is not a concern for the right-hander.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;I am happy that I am part of that discussion. For me to score consistently is more important. I am focusing on that only,&quot; Panchal told reporters.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nPanchal is part of the India &#39;A&#39; squad for the first four-day game in New Zealand.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThere will be two four-day matches from January 30-February 2 and February 7 to February 10 in New Zealand ahead of India&#39;s tour.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;We (me and Easwaran) have come to this stage because of performance. For me, performance matters the most and winning for the team is also important,&quot; said Panchal who scored 90 in Gujarat&#39;s first game against Hyderabad to lead the team to an eight-wicket win in the absence of regular skipper Parthiv Patel.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;We (me and Easwaran) respect each other and have played together for a long time,&quot; said Panchal who looks up to Rahul Dravid.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nGujarat have won their two games coming into this one while Bengal won their first tie and collected three points from the second as they had a first innings lead against Andhra.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;We as a team play much better cricket and we have been doing well,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n",
