<p>Shaken to the core by a BCCI suspension for unruly behaviour during the Corporate Trophy, Indian pacer Praveen Kumar is remorseful and has vowed not to repeat the incident in future.<br /><br /></p>.<p>"It was wrong on my part. The episode should not have happened. I regret it now," Praveen told PTI while recalling the incident.<br /><br />"I have learnt how to control my anger. I need to be cautious while expressing my emotions on the field. It happens sometimes when things do not go your way. I have moved on from that incident as it's history for me now. It won't happen again.<br /><br />"I have with me 4-5 Uttar Pradesh teammates who always advice me on what is right or wrong for me. Sudeep Tyagi, Tanmay Shrivastava and Suresh Raina create a homely environment for me and their advice has always helped me a lot," added the 26-year-old, who would be seen in action for Kings XI Punjab during the upcoming IPL.<br /><br />Praveen had bowled a short-pitched delivery at Income Tax's Ajitesh Argal and when the batsman checked with the umpire to know whether it was a no ball, the Meerut lad started abusing him.<br /><br />Following the match referee's report, Praveen was indefinitely suspended by the BCCI on February 10 and was issued a show-cause notice by the Board's secretary, Sanjay Jagdale.<br /><br />Later, the BCCI revoked the suspension after Praveen accepted all the charges and apologised for his inappropriate conduct. The BCCI let him off after severely reprimanding him. <br /><br />Praveen said the good showing in the Deodhar Trophy and ongoing Central Zone Syed Mushtaq Ali Twenty20 Trophy, will help him perform well in the upcoming IPL season-6.<br /><br />"This (Mushtaq Ali) tournament will definitely help me a lot in the IPL. I am performing well in the tournament and this will hold me in good stead in the IPL," he said.<br />Yesterday, Praveen picked up three wickets for 22 runs against Railways to set up Uttar Pradesh's six-wicket win.<br /><br />Talking about his team's chances in the IPL, he said, "We played well last year as a team. We came close to securing a semifinal berth on a number of occasions in the previous editions also but things did not work in our favour. We will look to secure the semifinal berth this time."<br /><br />Injuries wrecked havoc on his career and Praveen's perseverance wavered several times but he always made a strong comeback.<br /><br />This time also, he is hoping for the same.<br /><br />"Injury is part and parcel of our life. I am fit and performing well for my team. My job is to keep on performing and try to make a comeback into the Indian side. Rest is up to God."<br /><br />Praveen said he missed not being part of the Indian Test squad for the ongoing Australia series which the hosts are leading.<br /><br />"This is the best performance by the Indian team and I want them to win 4-0. I miss my place in the team. I too wanted to be there performing against the Australians," he signed off.</p>
