'Requested Sachin to play T20 WC'

In a startling revelation, Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh on Sunday (March 28) said that he wanted Sachin Tendulkar to play for India in the upcoming Twenty20 World Cup in the West Indies.

Harbhajan disclosed that a day before the team selection took place in Mumbai, he personally made a request to the Master Blaster to return to Twenty20 internationals and help the Men in Blue in the mega event.

However, the legend told Bhajji that he would stick to his decision of not playing Twenty20 internationals any more.

The Indian spinner also mentioned that he feels Sachin's presence would have made the Indian squad stronger in the Caribbean.

Bhajji said, "I feel that team would have become strong with Sachin's presence. Even a day before the selection I asked him to consider his decision, but he said that he has already decided that T20 is not his game and that he does not want to play anymore. I am sure that if a player of Sachin's caliber is present in the dressing room, it would have added to the confidence in the team."

Sachin had earlier said that he doesn't intend to return to the T20 side. He said, "I am not going to play in the T20 World Cup. I abide by my decision taken in 2007."
