Former Indian skipper, Sourav Ganguly has backed spin wizard, Harbhajan Singh to make a swift return to the national team and expects him to travel to face Australia later in the year.
Harbhajan was axed from the One Day series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 at home, after his abysmal showing on tour of the same opposition, which was also cut short due to an abdominal injury the player suffered in the 2nd Test match.
However, since returning from injury, the Turbanator has been in good touch, which included a impressive Champions League T20 with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians, where he came for praise by his peer for his leadership qualities, while his Player of Match performance in the final against Royal Challengers Bangalore, helped his IPL franchise to lift the coveted title.
The selectors have opted to prefer youth over experience, with them promoting players such as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228 leading the lines well in the absence of Bhajji, it has raised question over the long term future of the 31-year-old.
However, the ex- skipper feels that it is hard to see the player not travelling with the team for a tough assignment against the Kangaroo side. "I don't see Harbhajan not playing the Tests and not going to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746."
After a mauling suffered on tour of Poms, the Men In Blue will be keen to learn from their mistake and ensure that the team is fully prepared before travelling to Down Under. There form at home has always been exemplary, however, it will be a tough test for the team to perform well in Australia and the Ganguly hopes that management includes some young faces.
"At home http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 always is very strong and they have the capability to win the series 5-0. But we have to keep in mind that we will be playing against Australia in their fields soon and it is time India brings new faces and young talents in the one-day team," Ganguly told reporters on Thursday.
The Indians will travel to Down Under in mid-December, where they will lock horns in 4 Test matches, before a tri-series, which also sees them battle http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
