I am in no great hurry to get back into the Indian team and want to play a few matches before I get to the international level. I want to return to the national side only after getting fully fit.

After undergoing physiotherapy in Australia, I am fully fit now. I accept that injuries have taken a heavy toll on my career so I would present my fitness certificate to the Board only after I am fully fit.
