Veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh, who hasn't featured in the Indian cricket team since 2016, will decide on his career after the next Indian Premier League.

Harbhajan, 40, is part of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) franchise since IPL 2018 and skipper MS Dhoni prefers to have him in the playing XI. But it's not certain that CSK would go for him in the next mega-auction considering a revamp of the franchise.

The offie will take a call on his future seeing how his body responds. “I can’t say whether this will be my last IPL. It depends on my body. After four months of workout, rest, yoga sessions, I feel reinvigorated just like 2013, when I had 24 wickets in that IPL edition,” Harbhajan told PTI.

Harbhajan kept himself away from domestic cricket for IPL, and he feels there is nothing wrong if players do so.

“To each his own. If someone feels he wants game time, good for him. If I bowl 2000 balls at the nets for a month, the amount of top-level cricket I have played, it’s good enough,” he said.

One of the top wicket-takers in Test cricket for India, Harbhajan admitted ups and downs are part of cricket and one should accept it.

“That every day was like an exam,” he said. “A lot of papers went well and I got good marks and a few I didn’t do well as much as I would have liked. “It was like a great leveler. When you played actively for India, you could never celebrate a good performance for days as there was another challenge right down the corner.”
