Harbhajan insists hard times are over

New Delhi: He is back in the side and smiling again. After spending the last three months in wilderness, Harabhajan Singh is keen to get back in action. Speaking to our Chief Cricket Correspondent Nishant Arora, Harbahajan said that he has learnt from his past and is eager to prove that.

"The last three months have been tough. There have been lots of downs, I won't say ups," said Harbhajan.

"I faced a lot of things but they are all gone and there is no point in going back to what happened. The bad times are over and I just want to focus on my game and keep on playing the kind of cricket that I have been playing for the last 10 years and bowl well and bat well and win games for my country and that's what is important to me," he added.

"Every cricketer wants to play each and every game and I wanted to be there in Bangladesh and Pakistan and I also wanted to represent the Mumbai Indians and play all the games. But things obviously didn't go well for me but I have learnt a lot from whatever happened and looking forward to starting well. And just want to enjoy my cricket and focus on it," stated Harbhajan.
