DELHI:-It has been almost two years since Manoj Tiwary last played for India, but the Bengal batsman, who made the 15-man squad for the upcoming tour of Bangladesh, insisted that he had never lost hope during his prolonged period on the sidelines. He had missed much of the current domestic season due to knee problems, and had injured his back and shoulder in 2012-13. "Look, when I was out of the squad, it was because of my knee injury and not poor form," Tiwary said.–Agencies
