Sweating it out in practice sessions, seeking tips from seniors, fine-tuning 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 in New Delhi today.
Kaif leads India 'A' in a four-day match against South Africa 'A' starting at the Kotla 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."
