After being picked in national team after such a long time, emotional Nehra stated that years away from Indian team were most painful.

“I’ve never thought of quitting. Never! Those years away from the Indian team were the most difficult and painful. I had lost my place due to injury and not form. It looks a very happy world now,” Nehra said.

The left-arm speedster, last played for India in the 2011 World Cup’s semifinal against Pakistan.

“I kept backing myself. My wife and parents stood like pillars behind me. My coach (Tarak Sinha) was a big strength, and I had cricketeres Zak (Zaheer Khan) and Jad (Ajay Jadeja) constantly encouraging me,” Nehra added.
