Internet Desk: India’s veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh is in controversy again as he said on Thursday that MS Dhoni always gets ‘privilege’ during his selection for Team India but on the other hand the players of his equivalent level were being neglected every time. Dhoni has already left India’s limited overs captaincy few months back and there is still few questions over his participation in the next ICC Cricket World Cup in 2019 in England. Dhoni is a part of India squad for the ICC Champions Trophy squad which begins from June 1 in England. Harbhajan, who won the recently concluded Indian Premier League for Mumbai Indians says his case is not taken for any consideration, where as he can do well for the side too.
Harbhajan is among the cricketers who are eying for a comeback in the Indian national squad after their performance in the recently concluded IPL.“Yes, there is no doubt that Dhoni brings a lot to the table apart from his batting, whether he is in form or not. Obviously we have seen that he is not hitting the ball as well as we have seen,” Harbhajan was quoted as saying by NDTV.
Harbhajan added, “He has been captain and he understands the game and having him in the middle will help lot of youngsters and people out there who are not feeling great in particular moments. So he has that edge. But when it comes to me I do feel that we are not given that sort of privilege. We too have played for 19 years and won and lost India matches. I have won two World Cups too. So this privilege is for some players, and for some it is not and I’m one of those for whom this privilege is not there. I don’t know why that is the case.”
Harbhajan, who has played more than 100 Tests for India, said he wants to make a comeback. “That question of ‘why’ needs to be asked to the selectors. I don’t want to sing my own praises, but given the amount of cricket others have played, even I understand the game as much; and what they bring to the table we also bring to the table. We too wish to play for the country as much.”
