Obviously, it has been tough. Last year, my wife was expecting and my baby was born so I didn’t play domestic cricket. Had I played, I am sure I would have played some of the Test matches at home. And on the kind of wickets we are playing, where the ball spins from the first ball itself, I would have got a few wickets.

I am working hard on my game and looking forward to making a comeback in the one-day squad. I can deliver at the highest level against the best in the business.
