The 34-year-old off-spinner, who was picked for the one-off Test against Bangladesh starting June 10 at Fatullah, had last played for India against Australia in Hyderabad in March 2013. He had picked two wickets for 62 runs in that match which India had won by an innings and 135 runs. [What has Harbhajan Singh done to be recalled for Tests?]

Singh, although picked for a single Test, however, has a close record to break. At 413 wickets in 101 Test matches, the Turbanator is currently the 10th highest wicket-taker in Test cricket. [Harbhajan changed the game with 2 consecutive strikes vs CSK]
