Ojha wants to retain place

"There is nothing to regret. I have been doing well whenever opportunity comes. I am just waiting for opportune moment. This (representing India in Tests) is something not in my hands, so I can't help," India left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha said.

Ojha said, "For a cricketer, playing Test cricket for his country is the ultimate goal and I am looking forward to that."

"There is still lot of time for Champions Trophy. My focus is on tri-series and I have to do well in Lankan conditions," Ojha said.

"After West Indies tour, I had a break and went home. I am back in action, practicing at the nets and training hard to remain in shape. It's (MRF Trophy) a good match practice ahead of the series," Ojha said.

Ojha said, "I did not play much. But I was training a lot under (fielding coach) Robin Singh and (bowling coach) Venkatesh Prasad. It's a good experience to be with the side on away tours."

"I've learnt a lot being with the Indian team. All senior players including (Mahendra Singh) Dhoni are very helpful.

There is not much change in my bowling but I'm more confident now. I can now provide that extra loop or pace with more confidence. It is helping me to get wickets," he added.
