Some people who have not played cricket themselves have been writing crap stuff about me. But it can&#8217;t be like one-way traffic. I have seen legendary spinners like Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralitharan going wicketless in matches. Similarly, I am not a magician, I too can have rough times,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Harbhajan said that he is looking forward to play his 100th Test. &#8220;I&#8217;m excited about the news of my selection in the Indian Test team. It is a big news for me. It would be nice to complete 100 Test matches, I just can&#8217;t wait to get into the white flannels for India against England,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>The Hindu<\/strong> reports that Harbhajan Singh is keen to play Punjab\u2019s next match against Bengal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to play and I\u2019ll seek permission from the Board,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On his critics, he said, \u201cIt was tough; probably the toughest phase of my career. I learnt a lot during that period,\u201d he reflected. What was the most important lesson? \u201cNot to take anything for granted, anything!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou may have played for many years but competition is tough. You become the second option. I never lost hope but obviously injury and loss of form made it difficult. I lost a bit of confidence too and worked to regain my place. I had set certain standards and I knew it would require hard work to get back,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harbhajan Singh who made a comeback into the Indian Test squad for the first two matches against England hit back at his critics and said that it cannot be a &#8220;one-way traffic&#8221;, says a report in The Indian Express. &#8220;His role changes according to the wicket.
