He was the first-choice spinner of the team for a very long-time, however, after the 2011 World Cup, he lost his place from the team and played a handful of matches since then. He was dropped from the team for the 2013 Champions Trophy and the 2015 World Cup. However, he was included in the team for the ICC T20 World Cup 2016 which was held in India, but he just warmed the bench.

Speaking to India TV, Harbhajan said that a player with 400 Test wickets getting discarded is a ” mysterious story”.

“How can someone with 400 wickets be discarded is a mysterious story in itself, which hasn’t been unravelled yet. I still wonder, ‘What really happened? Who had a problem with me staying in the team?” Harbhajan said on India TV.

The 41-year-old further added that he got no answers when he tried to ask Dhoni, so he decided to stop asking.

“I tried to ask the captain [Dhoni] why, but I wasn’t given a reason. I realized there is no point in me asking for the reason for this treatment, and who is behind it because if you keep asking and no one replies, then it’s better to leave it,” he stated.
