Mumbai: Harbhajan Singh has been selected for the India’s 15-men squad and he is very excited to play against the Aussies. He has always played his best cricket against Australian team and he enjoys the level of competition and intensity on the field against them.

The 32-year-old, who has picked up his 408 wickets in 99 Tests, was on Sunday included in the 15-member squad for the first two Tests starting February 22 in Chennai.  

"I am very happy and feeling very relieved after getting selected. This game was very important for me. I bowled very well and have got the opportunity to play against my favourite opposition. I am looking forward to it," Harbhajan said at the post-match presentation ceremony.

Struggling for a while, Harbhajan was impressive in the Irani Cup, picking up five wickets in the match. He has been a proven performer against Australia and has a reputation of getting to the nerves of the players from Down Under.

The spinner had taken 32 wickets with an average of 17 against the Aussies in the memorable 2001 series. His bowling spell has been included in the Top-100 all-time best bowling spells.
