Veteran India spinner Harbhajan Singh backs himself to return in the squad even at 40. He is considered one of the best spinners in the country as well. He thinks age at one level is over-rated who has played103 Tests and 236 ODIs for India as well.
"If you still want to test me by pitting me for a battle of skills against those youngsters you consider best in the business, please bring it on," Harbhajan, who has taken 235 wickets, said. "You can talk about age if the ball while fielding goes between your legs or your knees are gone or you have done in shoulder which is the reason you can't give that force.”
"But yes, I have been on the field wearing those India colours for at least 800 days (playing time). I have been an achiever who doesn't need anyone's sympathy. But yes, if it's about skills, bring the best in India and I am still ready," he said.
Despite last playing for India way back in 2016, he is a regular face in the cash-rich league Indian Premier League where he used to play for one of the best teams - Mumbai Indians earlier and later went to play for another best team – Chennai Super Kings. However, the experienced spinner also thinks that he can be at his best even after not playing domestic cricket as he has played enough amount of top-level cricket.
While talking about his 22-year-long journey, he said that he used to treat every day like an exam where a lot of papers went well and he got marks at one end, while on the other, he didn’t do well how he liked to do. However, the spinner with 711 international wickets across formats is ready to take part in the 13th edition of Indian Premier League. It was earlier scheduled to take place in March but eventually got postponed owing to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and it will take place later this year.
