- 'After playing a lot I have learnt a lot many things, cool and aggressive approach is the need of the hour.'
Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh on Friday exuded confidence that he will make a comeback to the Indian Test squad in the near future.
"In the last ODI series [against South Africa] I have done well. Whatever is there, I am confident that I will get to play in Test matches again," he said in Chandigarh.
Harbhajan was part of the Indian squad for the Test series in Sri Lanka in August but was dropped for the ongoing four-match series against South Africa.
The 35-year-old, who made his debut in 1998, has claimed 417 wickets in 103 Tests and 269 wickets in 236 One-Day Internationals. He believes aggression is not about confronting the opposition but performing well with the bat or ball whenever the opportunity arises.
"Aggression is looking forward to the challenge. Aggression does not mean you start hitting or beating anyone. To me aggression is to let the ball and bat do the talking."
He, however, added that by remaining calm, a player can perform much better.
"After playing a lot I have learnt a lot many things, cool and aggressive approach is the need of the hour," he said.
Harbhajan, who runs close to five academies in different parts of the country, said his aim is to search hidden talent in the villages.
"In these cricketing academies run by me coaches are providing training to batsmen, bowlers and fielders," he said, adding that around 900 budding cricketers were being trained at Jalandhar, Phagwara, Lucknow and Kolkata.
"Cricket has given a lot to me and it's time now to do something back for the game. My academies are doing the job for upcoming players," he added.
