NEW DELHI: Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, who missed out on a place in India's one-day squad for the tour of Sri Lanka because of a hamstring injury, today said he would come back fitter for the subsequent series against New Zealand. "I am presently in Johannesburg in South Africa recovering from an injury but would be back in India on Tuesday (tomorrow) night," he told PTI from Johannesburg where he is under medical supervision for the last 10 days.

Harbhajan has been nagged by a tear in the bone joining his hamstring and groin for the last two years but the present window of no international engagement encouraged him to get rid of this physical issue. "It was first detected in a scan during the tour of South Africa in 2006.

It was then seen only as an inflammation. "However, in Australia last year another scan showed a little tear.

The doctors then advised me to keep on playing and treat it whenever there was a long break from international engagements," Harbhajan said. With India's tour of Pakistan cancelled, the team had no international commitments for a long duration and Harbhajan felt it was the best opportunity to deal with the issue.
