Sweating it out in practice sessions, seeking tips from seniors, finetuning technique
-- Mohammad Kaif has tried everything and is now banking on divine intervention
for a comeback into the Indian cricket team.
"Allah ne chaha to wapas aunga (God willing I will comeback)," Kaif
told reporters at the Ferozeshah Kotla here today.
Kaif leads India 'A' in a four-day match against South Africa
'A' starting here on Thursday and the cheeky Uttar Pradesh cricketer said though
comeback remains on the back of his mind, he is not putting himself under any
pressure.
"I have not set any goal or time-frame for a return. I'm
just trying to relax and enjoy my game. Yes, a comeback is always there in my
mind but you know there is a process for that. God willing, I'll be back to
national team again," said Kaif, who played his last ODI against South
Africa in November 2006.
Since then, Kaif has been working on his technique and doing
everything else to ensure he returns a better cricketer.
"The last 7-8 months allowed me to work on these areas.
I sought technical help from a few people, including my father who also played
this game at the Ranji level. Hope things would soon fall in place." Asked
if he had spoken to some of his former teammates, Kaif said, "I'm not going
to reveal the names.
