I have no doubt that Bhajji and Sachin chickened out of the English series coz they couldn't perform and wanted to save their fitness and form (whatever is left) for the CLT20.
:facepalm: Pathetic, absolutely pathetic achilles! Now I know why the likes of Gunner,PK,Shwetabh and all constantly ridicule you.

I am now fit to play any form of cricket not only T20: Bhajji

Critics have ripped him apart in recent times for his poor form but an undeterred Harbhajan Singh says having a clear conscience and performing the role assigned to him by the team is what matters the most. Harbhajan, who is now fit to play after being ruled out of the England series due to an abdominal muscle strain, insists he could not have taken over 400 Test wickets if he was not good enough at the highest level. Å¢ll these years, I have maintained one thing. After a hard dayÃÔ play, I go back to my hotel room and look at myself in the mirror. If I know that I have given my 100 percent, thatÃÔ what matters to me? Harbhajan told PTI in an interview. Å®ore than what people believe, an individual is the best judge and I canÃÕ fool myself, said the 31-year-old off-spinner. Harbhajan came back after the second Test match in England because of a Grade I abdominal muscle strain and had to undergo intense rehabilitation programme at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore. He is expected to make a comeback for Mumbai Indians in Champions League Twenty20. Ū started bowling even during my rehabilitation. Now I am bowling around 16-17 overs and gradually the workload would increase to 30 overs which is a standard number of overs sent down by a specialist spinner in a Test match, he explained. When asked whether he is worried about facing a lot of criticism about playing in Champions League Twenty20 as he was injured during Test series, he replied: ůo cricketer invites injuries. I was injured but now I am fit. Had there been any other tournament instead of CL T20, I would have even made myself available for that. I have been given a go-ahead by the doctors and physiotherapists and thatÃÔ why I am getting ready for competitive cricket. For me, itÃÔ about playing any form of cricket, he explained. Having seen numerous ups and downs in his 13-year-long international career which has seen him get 665 international wickets (406 in Tests and 259 in ODIs), Harbhajan has certainly learnt the art of keeping his chin-up in crisis situations. There are people who have been writing him off but the feisty off-spinner got 15 wickets in three Test matches in South Africa and 11 wickets in three Test matches in West Indies. His 70-odd proved crucial in IndiaÃÔ Test win over West Indies. Before that he was adjudged man-of-the-series for his back-to-back centuries and 10 wickets against New Zealand. Å«ust after one Test match, people start writing someone off as if he has not performed for 10 matches. If I hadnÃÕ been good, I wouldnÃÕ have got 400 Test wickets. I have seen a strange thing. When one gets five-for with full-tosses and long hops, he is a great bowler and if you go wicketless despite your best efforts, you are not considered good enough, he said with a touch of sarcasm. Ask him who is the person he falls back on for technical suggestions, pat comes the reply: Å¢nil Kumble. Å¢part from Anil bhai, I also speak to our national selector Narendra Hirwani from whom I have got valuable inputs. Also speaking to legends like Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar who are great players of spin bowling has helped me grow as a bowler. For me, it matters what my team-mates feel about me.

I don't think anyone doubts his commitment , bhaji might give his 100% but it's not good enough in test cricket. Yes he does get it right every now and then what's needed from him is consistency

I'm sure he has seen Ashwin perform decently in England, the fear of being axed might bring the best out of him in the series against England and WI. If he gets back to his best, it'll be huge boost for India.

Bhaji needs to go back to domestic cricket and find his form again before going anywhere near the Indian team again.
This. He shouldn't take his place for granted. He should work on his bowling. If he finds his form back, it will be great for Indian team. Team lacks competition among bowlers.
