Laxman, Harbhajan Singh eagerly waiting for Zimbabwe tour
4 May 2001

The new stars of Indian cricket, middle order batsman VVS Laxman of Hyderabad and off-spinner Harbhajan Singh of Punjab are looking forward to winning a Test series overseas with the Zimbabwe tour starting from May 28.

"We are all looking forward to winning a Test series overseas as I think we are in the right frame of mind after our success against the Australians at home recently", Laxman told PTI after signing a three-year contract with Sporting Frontiers India Limited (SFIL) in Mumbai on Friday. "I would have been much happier if we had won the one-day series as well but missed doing so by a whisker", he added.

Laxman, who averred that it was an honour to be associated with a company which has the Australian captain Steve Waugh on its list, said he was very happy to keep up his promise (that he would establish himself as a player in both Tests and one-dayers) which he made to the press during the three-day game at Nagpur against the visiting Aussies earlier this year.

'Turbanator' Harbhajan Singh, the only Indian to have taken a hat-trick in Tests so far, said both he and Laxman were practicing very hard to do well in Zimbabwe. "Our wish is to win a Test series outside India", he added.

Stating that he was happy to be associated with Sporting Frontiers, Harbhajan said the coach and manager would look after the players on the field while "the Sporting Frontiers would look after us (Harbhajan and Laxman) off it."
