Latest Cricket News: When questioned about his relationship with former colleague and ex-India captain MS Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh had one of the funniest responses. “I’m not married to him,” stated the spinner, who announced his retirement in December last year, in an attempt to clarify his previous words about the wicketkeeper-batter.
Harbhajan Singh has frequently questioned his exclusion from the national squad following the 2011 World Cup, claiming he was never given a reason. Meanwhile, the off-spinner revealed in a recent interview with Zee News that Dhoni had more support than other players.
His latest works, made after announcing his retirement from the sport in December of last year, suggested that he was dissatisfied with the way things were handled.
“See, everyone interprets a quote differently. I just wanted to convey that a lot of things could have been better posting 2012. Sehwag, me, Yuvraj, Gambhir could have retired playing for the Indian team since all of them were active in IPL as well. It is ironic that the Champions of the 2011 team never played together again! Why? Only a few of them played in the 2015 World Cup, why?” questioned Harbhajan in his latest interview with News 18.
The 41-year-old added it’s not Dhoni he has a complaint against, instead Harbhajan pointed fingers at the past selectors, who he slams for not doing “justice to their roles”.
“I have no complaints against MS. In fact, he has been a good friend all these years. I have a complaint to the BCCI, the sarkar (government) of that time. I call BCCI sarkar. The selectors of that time didn’t do justice to their roles. They didn’t allow the team to be united. What was the point of bringing in new guys when the greats were still around and delivering? I once confronted the selectors on this and their reply was it wasn’t in their hands and then I asked why they are the selectors, then,” Harbhajan further stated.
