New Delhi: Rejoiced after being recalled for the New Zealand Test series, Indian batsman Gautam Gambhir on Wednesday said that he is very excited and bit nervous too regarding his comeback in the Indian Cricket team.

Gauti, on Twitter, turned emotional saying, “nothing beats playing again for the country.”

The unsung hero of 2011 World Cup has scored 356 runs playing some awe-inspiring knocks in the recently concluded Duleep trophy.

The selection committee on Tuesday included opener batsman Gautam Gambhir in the squad for the rest of the two Test matches to be played against New Zealand. He has replaced Lokesh Rahul who has been ruled out from the series due to injury in his right hamstring.

He also thanked Board of Control for Cricket in India and players of the team.
