"Yes, I got the clearance from the BCCI this afternoon. I have received a mail stating that my action has been cleared and I am eligible to start playing competitive cricket. I will be playing in Hyderabad's Ranji Trophy match tomorrow. It has been an emotionally turbulent phase for me. Hopefully, it is over now," Ojha sounded relieved as he spoke to PTI from his Hyderabad residence.
Asked about what exactly was the technical problem, Ojha explained,"There was a bit of problem that developed with my body momentum at the time of release. Since I was playing non-stop, I didn't realise when it crept into my system. The team of experts worked with me in Chennai helped me get rid of the problem. The change that I now have is that of a straightened run-up to the crease."
"Yes, I am happy to be playing but I belong somewhere else! I belong in that Indian team and that's my aim. To get my place back in the Test side," Ojha said.
A regular feature in India's home Test matches till last year scalping 113 wickets in 24 Test matches, Ojha's action came under scanner a few months back and last December, the India international was banned from bowling in competitive cricket and sent for action correction.
